Could you give more details about what you are trying to do?

You can pick one Family instance and one Object instance (from this family) in the same event, and compare their instance variables. For example - "If Enemies.hp > Zombie.hp"

That's what I told you - "if you want it to move up, then left, then up, you need to change the coordinates in the second and third MoveTo action."

To move Up, then Left, then Up:

Move to self.x, self,y-100

Move to self.x-100, self.y-100

Move to self.x-100, self.y-200

On the first screenshot change mode from "Direct" to "Add waypoint".

And if you want it to move up, then left, then up, you need to change the coordinates in the second and third MoveTo action.

I mean remove instance variables from the object and add them to the family. The objects in the family will inherit these variables.

I don't know, does it work?

You should probably only remove the line when the text has more than 10 lines:

if tokencount(BBText.text, newline)>=10

You can, but you need to define the instance variable on the family level.

there is no loop in the screenshot you posted in your first comment. "On collision" event happens only once, and the enemy is destroyed. So the sub-event is never repeated.

With music you need to assign a tag to the audio and check that this tag is not already playing.
If player X>2000 Audio "music" is NOT playing Audio play Music with tag "music"

You can remove lines which end with line breaks. But if you have a lot of text which is automatically wrapped to a new line, it's very difficult.

To remove the first line:

Set text to right(text, len(text)-find(text, newline)-1)

It may not be compatible with BBcodeText.

You mean you need 1-in-5 chance to drop a power up?

random(0,5) will generate a random number between 0 and 4.99999999999, it will never be exactly 5. Change your condition to random(5)<1, this will give you a 1-in-5 chance.

Another option: choose(1,2,3,4,5)=5
