You can paint each province with different colors and use Canvas plugin to detect RGB color at mouse cursor position.

Are you using 8-direction behavior to move the character? You need to set correct collision polygons for all sprites.

Here is a demo, although it may be a bit buggy because all image points and collision polygons need to be set with pixel precision.

For text object I have this demo:

The idea is to use another text object to obtain the width and height of text. It needs to be almost invisible, but not completely invisible (otherwise it will not be rendered), for example you can set its opacity to 0.1% or cover it by some sprite or move almost off the screen.

This code makes no sense.. Even with only 1 enemy instance it will not work correctly. When you are near the enemy, the player will start moving by itself, running away up/down from the enemy. If there are multiple enemies on the layout, I can't even imagine what it will do...

.

Please explain how the player should be controlled (keyboard, on-screen virtual joystick etc), and how do you want it to be animated. Why are you comparing player position with enemy position? Should the animation change somehow when there is an enemy nearby?

Yes. Or use "Set position" instead of Pin for the Window.

Or I would combine the tab and window sprites into one single sprite.

Use find expression.

System compare two values find(nationalDayName, searchString)>=0

That's because of Pin behavior. You are dragging the Tab sprite and Window is pinned to it. Pin behavior updates Window position after all events are finished. That's why there is a lag.

To fix this set textbox position to the Tab sprite instead. Or combine the tab and window into one sprite. You can resize its collision polygon (clickable area) to be at the top where the tab is.

I think you need to move this code (as a sub-event) to the event where you make the walls solid. So something like this:
On timer "MakeWallsSolidAgain" ...Player is overlapping Walls -> Player destroy ...Else -> Wall sets solid enabled

The problem is, player may still be considered as overlapping if it's touching the wall. So instead of "is overlapping" you can use another condition - "System pick Walls by overlapping point (player.X, Player.Y)". It will only be triggered if the origin image point of the player sprite is inside the wall.

I imagine something like this:

Red and blue are two different sprites. Yellow dot is the "perception" image point.

Web Storage is deprecated, it was replaced by Local Storage. You should still be able to open old projects which use WebStorage, but you can't add it to new projects.

Disable "Simplified user interface" in C3 settings. After that you will be able to see Local Storage in the list.
