  I think the best way will be to roll your own particle system with a simple RNG and pass both the same seed. That sounds more difficult than it actually is.

  Here is a related open feature request you should thumbs-up: github.com/Scirra/Construct-feature-requests/issues/533

  What happens if you use both, but in opposite directions?

  You could try separating this process into steps. Define an input "vector" (really a number from -1 to 1). Initialize the vector every step to 0. If keyboard left down, subtract 1 from the vector. If D-pad left down, subtract 1. If keyboard right, add. If D-pad right, add. Then normalize the vector (set to -1 if less than -1, 1 if greater than 1).

  Handle animation and movement next, based on the value of your input vector.

  Your event is picking all enemies and all hitboxes simultaneously. You could parent the enemies to their hitboxes:

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/interface/layout-view

  or you could use the pin behavior:

  You can already create folders. Right click on the folder, say Object types, and click Add subfolder.

  You could convert each to a string and concatenate them, then convert back in the Set value action: int( str(Variable_A) & str(Variable B) & ... ).

  You could create an Array object and then check the "Contains value" condition:

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/array

  If it's only a few numbers and you're only checking once then dop2000's suggestion will work. You can use "Evaluate expression" instead of "Compare variable".

  What browser are you using? I tried downloading the project and running it locally (Chrome) and couldn't reproduce the problem.

  Here's what you could do. Have a variable that tracks available jumps, set to 2 upon touching the ground. If the player jumps, that decreases. The player can only jump if the counter is greater than 0. Double jump, easy enough.

  For coyote time you use a timer (behavior or variable). If the player leaves the ground, the timer starts. When the timer runs out, decrement the jump counter. If the player jumps, cancel the timer (if running) and decrement the jump counter.

  How about setting both values in one function, then calling each with its own function? Something like this:

  

  Here I put everything in a group, sort of encapsulating the functions together. Then you can call the first function once without a return value, followed by each of the return values:

  

  A silly example but one that hopefully illustrates the idea.

  Yes. Add another action to that event, with "enemy" as the object, to set the value of the instance variable.

  How are the enemies spawned?

  When the enemy is spawned, you set its instance variable according to the player's level.
