what i need to do to restrict the swap movement to vertical or horizontal direction only? Thanks.

What's swap movement?

What's swap movement?

Change position? In my case, of two neighboring sprites.

Dont really understand your question.

If what you want is swapping to sprites i would try sometihng like

spirte1.setposition to sprite2.X & sprite2.Y

Sprite2.setposition to sprite1.X & sprite1.Y

Dont know what you are really asking

Imagine a match 3 game, you don't want them to move diagonal, just in the vertical or horizontal ... at least that is what I get from his question...

I want to make a puzzle in which the pieces can be swapped to only if they are above or on the side (right / left). I want to restrict the direction for not to swap diagonally.

Exactly. Thanks for understanding.

Sorry as im not a native english speaker ( I am from Uruguay) somethings dont really understand 100%.

I am not making and had never made that kind of game, but maybe this tutorial helps you:

just quit the spaces. As i have less than 500 reputation i cant publish URLs (really i think that has no meaning at all)

You may want to look at the Match 3 game tutorial, I believe it covers it. I don't have the link handy, but if you search google/bing for "Construct 2" + "match 3" + tutorial

you should find it.

Actually I've seen this tutorial, but I wanted a simpler solution (no arrays). My puzzle has only 18 pieces.
