  • This can be done a bit easier. Check out these two demo projects:

    howtoconstructdemos.com/spawn-objects-randomly-without-overlapping-2-capx

  • You mean Who&What? If Who="Kids" and What="Dancing", then when you concatenate these two variables you get Who&What="KidsDancing"

  • Sine behavior should do it.

  • You mean on the circle line?

    Set a = random(360)

    X = center.X + 100 * cos (a)

    Y = center.Y + 100 * sin (a)

  • To distribute existing sprites on a line, you can use "For each sprite" loop, and the same lerp expression.

    Or you can even do this without a loop:

    Sprite set position to X=lerp(A_x, B_x, self.IID/(Sprite.count-1), Y=lerp(A_y, B_y, self.IID/(Sprite.count-1))

  • Let's say you want to create 10 instances, the first instance should be at point A, and the last instance at point B: 

    Repeat 10 times
Create object at X=lerp(A_x, B_x, loopindex/9), Y=lerp(A_y, B_y, loopindex/9)

    If all 10 instances need to fit between points A and B: 

    For "n"=1 to 10
Create object at X=lerp(A_x, B_x, loopindex/11), Y=lerp(A_y, B_y, loopindex/11)

  • Sorry for assuming that you are a beginner, but some things you've described and especially your troubleshooting methods (re-arranging events, adding waits etc.) are mistakes that I've seen many times on this forum.

    For example, adding 1 to a global variable when any enemy is attacking, and subtracting 1 at the end of their attack animation - with multiple enemies this is difficult to program correctly, and extremely difficult to debug when it's not working.

    It's much easier to set isUnderAttack=true when an enemy starts its attack, and then when an attack ends (or on every tick, or every 0.1s) check if there are any enemies still attacking. If not, set isUnderAttack=false.

    Using "Wait" in this logic will only cause problems! If you need to delay something, for example, player recovering from the attack, use Timer behavior.

    .

    About your other issue with the startup sequence - when you are starting many asynchronous requests at once, and then use many "On completed" events, it's difficult to figure out when all of them are completed. It's easier to execute them one by one.

    Unless the files are really big, these requests should be finished in a couple of ticks.

    .

    Can you please post screenshots of your code, which you are struggling with? It will be much easier to discuss with actual examples.

  • For the console log to show anything, you need to add "Browser Log" actions to your events :)

  • These two objects (healthbar and its background) have different Z-elevation, that's why they are drifting.

  • I'm guessing you can run any CMD command via "start", for example "start dir"

  • In runtime you can move data from one array to another, by copying from cell to cell - "Array2 Set value at (X,Y) to Array1.at(X,Y)". Do this in a loop, if you need to copy the entire row or column.

    But it is not possible to modify JSON files in the project, so you will not be able to save modified arrays in the same JSON files. You can write them to Local Storage or some cloud storage.
