Is it possible, for a sprite to not attack itself when adding itself as a target?

tarek2 I thought about this system, but the game I'm creating is too big, and I would have to set a lot of settings for "team2"

This has its own challenges, I dont recommend you go that route as it can cause you a lot unnecessary problems, because when you compare (Family Vs Family1) you gonna pick yourself so you will need a lot of filtering to exclude yourself from the Picking list, either for LOS checks or for any other events that you will need to compare (Family Vs Family1)

But if you think you can handle then go for it and try it. This is normally for advanced users, who will know how to debug and resolve things.

In this picture, can I replace something from (for each) to something lighter? When there are more than 20 objects in the game using this configuration in the image below, the FPS drops a lot.

When I removed the "for each" for testing, even with 200 objects my game continued at 60 fps

The "For each" is needed as the event has to run per instance to check if it has LOS to enemies and then Pick the nearest.

Remember the example I gave you is just for demonstration of how to resolve the first issue you had about picking a turret target without adding the whole family as a target as you lose the filtering by teams, therefore you put the whole family as a target.

Since there are only a few objects for demonstrations in my example I dont need to do any extra filtering or performance tricks. But in your case, if you gonna have 200+ enemies you gonna have to adapt the events according to your game. This has to be done on your side as only you know what you have in the game.

The most common issues with the performance you can resolve them by (Filtering more the Picking & dont Run the events every tick)

Example:

Every 0.5 seconds

Family1 is on Screen:

---------->Family1 has LOS to Family2

------------>Etc...

I honestly never use the Turret as you can replicate it easily with the LOS behaviour and you have the freedom to filter and pick whichever you need.

For example:

Remove the Turret and you can do something like this

Then:

You just have to add some events to make sure you rotate towards Family 2.

tarek2Can you help me with this? It's similar to the positioning you teach me

How can I make it stop when I touch the grid, (which is tiled background) Will it be positioned correctly instead of off-screen?

I was using this format

-on touch grid

System create at (round(touch.x touch .Y) -48

round(touch.x touch .Y) +48

Etc...

Honestly, I have no idea what you are trying to do:

1-This code doesn't place an object in a grid:

round(touch.x touch .Y) 

As it just rounds the positions of the Touch XY. So just here I'm already confused about what you are trying to archive. I thought you were trying to place all your objects in a grid?

Perhaps you meant:

floor(Touch.X /48) * 48 
floor(Touch.Y /48) * 48

Variable = X
Variable = Y

Set X = floor(Touch.X /48) * 48 
Set Y = floor(Touch.Y /48) * 48

Spawn Object at (X - 48, Y)
Spawn Object at (X + 48, Y)

Pick by overlapping point (Tiled BG) (X -48, Y) --------> And Inverted Negative
 -----> Spawn Object at (X - 48, Y)

Pick by overlapping point (Tiled BG) (X +48, Y) --------> And Inverted Negative
 -----> Spawn Object at (X + 48, Y)

Pick by overlapping point (Tiled BG) (X -48, Y) 
 -----> Spawn Object at (X - 48, Y)

Pick by overlapping point (Tiled BG) (X +48, Y)
 -----> Spawn Object at (X + 48, Y)

tarek2 Sorry if it's a little confusing,My English is not very good, but here's an example of how I want it to work based on the example in the video I made.

tarek2 The blue balls are separated, so I'm having trouble creating them, I would like you to create 9 objects and adjust the grid

I think I already showed you that:

Honestly, I'm scared to answer any of your questions as each time I resolve an issue there are 3+ more new questions to resolve that weren't part of the question. Im gonna have to take a break from this post.

I think I already showed you that here:

What have you tried???

There are so many options available:

Use a Tilemap loop through all the tiles and spawn your tiles

or

Just loop through each tile of the tiled Background and spawn your objects

You can sue the "For" loop XY

For "Y" From 0 to (Base.Height/48)-1:
----> For "X" From 0 to (Base.Width/48)-1: 
------------> Spawn object at:
------------> X = base.BBoxLeft + (48 * loopindex("X"))
------------> Y = base.BBoxTop + (48 * loopindex("Y"))

on touch Grid 
--------> Create Temple "Grid Of Objects" & Create Hierarchy = Yes
--------> Set the Position as I showed you
--------> Grid_Base remove children
--------> Grid_Base destroy

tarek2It's still a little confusing, I'll try, this is very difficult, I'm trying everything, but it's difficult to do this by creating 8 objects and adjusting them to the grid 🙁
