    well... my little minion will only chop 3 or 4 trees then I can't make him do anymore - no idea why.

    Long story short, I'm pretty sure it is the "trigger only once" on the chop=1 condition. So if you click two trees they will both have chop=1 and once one tree is chopped the event won't fire again.

    And just to note, this isn't me complaining but for your benefit on getting help in the future—your project is pretty messy. A lot of disabled events and events that do nothing. It is asking a lot to post your whole capx and ask for people to read through it all. Try putting events in groups, using comments, and using the bookmark on the events you want people to trouble shoot. Just saying it took a while for me to even find the part to trouble shoot and I almost said screw it. (but I didn't )

  • Wow, nicely done korbaach . Concise and effective. I gotta get myself more familiar with arrays

  • Here is one with regular blur and text blur—I might like regular better but your preference. You can mess with the speed of the lerp one by changing the "0.08" but make sure you change it in both actions

  • In your screen shot your group is disabled. You don't want that—it can't get enabled at runtime. Right click on it, click on edit, un-check "active at start".

    Sorry if my terms mislead you—lackadaisically I used 'disabled' instead of 'not active'

  • Also works perfectly on old ipad mini

  • Try Construct 3

  • It works perfectly on my iphone6. It is probably your device

  • Give this a try:

    Not sure it is the best way but worked with what you had started. I was impressed with some of what you had—haven't done anything like that before

  • Hi Badmood,

    thanks for the advice. Actually I'm trying to draw a path with the mouse spawning dots on a regular distance. Then, a sprite follows the path

    Ah, I didn't catch that. Maybe:

    Pick most recent waypoint (or player if no waypoints)

    -Compare two values If distance(mouse.x, mouse.y, waypoint.x, waypoint.y) > [distance you would like them]

    --spawn waypoint at mouse.x mouse.y

    Sorry, I can't look at your capx right now so not sure if that is the behavior you are looking for. If it is, to pick the most recent waypoint you may need an instance variable or boolean—although I think there is an expression to pick the last created instance but I'm not familiar.

  • Man you make it look easy :p Is there a way I can set it to buy only 10 instead of 10.2454578784?

    How long have you been using construct ?

    My profile says for just over a year—but I think it was a little longer than that. There is a ton I don't know but I just try to answer the questions in areas that I know.

    Did you use the floor()? Because floor(10.2454578784) = 10

    round() - rounds to nearest integer

    floor() - rounds down

    ceil() - rounds up

    Once you start learning the commonly used expressions and such it will start to snowball. These are a couple pages to visit often:

    https://www.scirra.com/manual/126/system-expressions

    https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/77/nat ... onstruct-2

    Then whenever you use something new to you visit the page in the manual so you know the conditions, actions, and expressions. Things that seem complicated may already be built in—you just have to know what is available

  • Edited — had a bunch of mistakes

  • math

    ...lol

    On Buy max button clicked

    --Add to "baby chick" floor(eggs/10) (eggs divided by price)

    --Subtract from "eggs" floor(eggs/10)*10

    Or (if they are sprites not variables)

    On Buy max button clicked

    -Repeat floor(eggs/10) times

    --Create chick

    --Subtract 10 from eggs

    Floor() simply rounds down. So if you had 95 eggs, floor(eggs/10) would result in 9 (9.5 rounded down)

    Edit: Whoops, had some stuff backwards
