Off screen indicator arrow problem

Hi!

I tried to search the forums for "off screen arrow" etc. With no luck, though..

I have two (in future even more) indicators that are pointing to each target/enemy. They should only point to, and be visible, when an instance is off screen. But in my sample capx the indicators are visible, no matter what..

Give me some hint/pointer on what is wrong with the capx.. (as it would be nice to figure this out myself)

Thanks!

if instance pointing to onsreenObject destroy or set opacity to 0.

I can't open the capx because i have a missing plugin it seems. So can't help beyong this point :s.

you could try using a radar instead, youl find a link bellow

it will show you where enemies are around the layout in a small erea

Oh, silly me! I updated the capx in the first post, so that it (i think) uses no third party plugins.. Also simplified it to only one event sheet..

I tried to set a boolean for the "target is on screen". Well, that didn't work.. I'll check the radar thing out as soon as I get the time. Maybe I'll be able to dig something out from it!

I had no luck with the radar but ill look at your capx and compare
