  I appreciate the effort that people put in here. Perhaps my question was not clear. I'm sorry if it sounded rude. Thank you very much for your suggestions R0J0hound

  I checked the forum before asking a question to avoid duplicates. Is there something wrong with my question that it was ignored?

  Hello everyone. I have a very interesting idea for creating pathfinding navigation that will use physics for movement (like 'move to,' but without getting stuck or jumping through walls, overlapping, or immovable-movable objects).

  I have made some progress, but my knowledge is not enough to address the following issues:

  The main problem is that enemies chasing the player forget about him instantly if he is not in their view area and stop moving. It would be best to follow the entire path that was calculated and stop only after reaching final destination.

  The secondary problem is tank - vehicle is moving like wet soup on a plate, with no turning radius at all. One of my ideas was to apply a force in the direction between the sprite's current angle/direction and the X and Y direction of the closest node

  How can I improve this? Any ideas or advice would be appreciated

  Thank you, DarkViGaCi! Your advice about setting the 'Scale Rate' to 0 helped me fix the problem with the weird scaling of elements on the UI layer.

  I searched as much as I could on the internet and through examples, but I could not fix the problem with fullscreen mode: scale outer. How is it possible that no one else has asked about a similar problem?

  Here is mouse wheel zoom in and out with min/max limiter if someone need it: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nfmawkxtyr4jlf41jw64d/Zoom-0.2.1.c3p?rlkey=y417k1j9fcuvis9oboecfwwn1&st=r62xjyhc&dl=0 Works in fullscreen mode: letterbox scale

  Update on zoom out limits:

  As far as I can see, there is no option to change the viewport width or height and layout width or height when the game is running.

  1) One way to hard limit is to use layout scale, but only in fullscreen mode: letterbox scale (with black bars). However, this method fails when using fullscreen mode: scale outer.

  2) Another idea was to divide (Viewport Width / ViewportWidth(1)) and then use it as a limiter, but it's not working well either.

  Here is my updated C3P: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/241juvky5pk5uqhtswfl2/Zoom-0.3.c3p?rlkey=qp5lflsz36pquqb69mxmjp0n3&st=em4ueshx&dl=0

  I checked a few examples: https://editor.construct.net/#open=touch-zooming and https://howtoconstructdemos.com/download/zoom-pinch-touch-gesture/.

  Question #1: Then I started to make my own simple version of it (without panning and UID) and encountered a bug - the screen is shaking while zooming.

  Question #2: How can I limit zoom out by layout size? Is there an easy way to do this? My idea was to limit it using ScrollTo behavior, but it's not working as I expected.

  Any advice would be helpful

  You can make a shooting mechanic that will shoot lines.

  1) Add Bullet behaviour to the line

  2) Check "bounce of wall" in the setting.

  3) Shoot the line from the red ball every X time

  4) Delete it after collision with a solid in X time

  5) ???

  6) Profit

  Hello, I'm trying to cover the whole layout with squares by creating objects at coordinates X and Y in the loop. I understand, that there should be cycle in cycle to jump from first row to next one. It works for the first X row, but I can't make it work for next ones (change Y coordinate and start creating new sprites on X coordinate)

  Here is my c3p https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/a3ovo6q4wzygoy93i9amq/Fill-Layout-1.c3p?rlkey=kcpgprpovtc3dadauesp5t552&st=3mg8vpo6&dl=0

  Can we preload images by using second layout like ObjectRepository or it only works when it's in active layout?

  Excellent explanation, it's understandable why it was not working, thank you again and again. I will use timer in this case, but I also wanted to know why it's better then custom method. Woohoo, now I can build my own tower defense, with blackjack, and ...

  Your explanation was excellent and very informative about triggers and timer. Thank you very much!

  After some experiments, now I definitely know much-much more about it. Occasionally it was difficult to find the correct way to trigger something only once. The surprise for me was that true/false is not a trigger. As I understood, the best and easiest way to convert a continuous event to a trigger is using "trigger ones while true as a sub-event" which saved me a lot of brain cells. If there is any other ways I would like to know it)

  Only one thing I couldn't make to work while experimenting is every X seconds per instance variable of the family

  Thank you for explanation

  Event number 4. I understood part about trigger and why we don't need "for each" there.

  Event number 6. Yes, it's checking distance every frame. So every frame, then base is in the distance it runs that timer. Okay, but "move to is moving" is also continuous and has no trigger (green arrow). Is not it just two conditions? Can I create boolean "can attack" make it true if base is the range and trigger timer by checking that true/false?

  Why on created is not triggering timer correctly in this example?

  How to make every X time individual for each instance?

  Example: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/x758hw94evujv3uqztvb0/2_AttacktheBaseiLineCustom3.c3p?rlkey=wdss3rc2qxtykewyewwco5i3g&st=drp2p635&dl=0

  Hello, Sensei dop2000 and Mr. igortyhon I don't want to be annoying and I remember how you helped me with turret behavior before, but I couldn't use it for main project. When you are making it, it works perfect and at the moment when I change something everything stop working. I just want to understand how it works to stop asking similar questions.

  Why do we need that - 6 event movement check? What if there will be situation where units are not moving? Maybe to trigger timer only one time? But...

  I created two more groups in the project with similar mechanism.

  1) If timer is not working for continuous triggers, then why it's not working for "on created" event? (damage for some reason is only from first ally) I don't understand it and why timer works without "for each" for ally?

  2) How to make it work without timer? Where is my mistake?
