  Do all the animations have more then 1 frame and are they playing ?

  To my knowledge, you can not name an animation to 7 or 6, so what are those 'set animation to "6" doing ?

  Random(start,end) still works as expected.

  Range <-- means at least 1 number.

  [, ...] <--- means optional more (as much as you want) values divided by a comma

  So it also takes random(0,60,50,80,90)

  Same for Array.At(X[, ...])

  At least one X index

  Optional a list of other values (indexes)

  It now takes Array.At(1,2,3,4,5,6,7) without an error.

  Yes a single object with different animations. That takes care of the graphical 'face'. If the characters are also defined by different instance variable value's, bringing the variables into an array will solve that. If however the characters have different 8direction properties (the used behavior), then i still have no idea yet.

  I played with your capx (to no avail yet)

  https://www.dropbox.com/s/7o3j3igp2rqy9 ... .capx?dl=0

  But this needs rethinking. The problem is that you cant set (as far as i can see) the 'Directions' and the 'Set angle' properties on runtime for the 8Directions. So if those are properties that change with the characters, i dunno at this moment.

  Lets do some advanced picking.

  Fully commented for a change.

  i would go with a trigger and 'impulse' at the desired angle.

  Depends.

  I see that you dont change the value of Game_Started. You should have done that in this event.

  Since i do not see (and have to guess) your other events, i assume that you forgot to change its value or have some timer on it.

  As a result this event runs several ticks, presumably FPS times * first value in range . If you create those random numbers fast enough and for enough time, the first value for sure gets chosen. That value happens to be the shortest time. So when DRAW pops into existence it is at that shortest wait time, or the first one in the range. The other (FPS times * first value in range) wait calls you dont see happen.

  Instances have always the same 'name'. I have no idea what you have done.

  The bee is 86.344 by 81.673 pixels. With a density of 1, this calculates to a mass of 141 physics units for mass.

  The square is 50 by 50 pixels. With a density of 1, this calculates to a mass of 50 physics units for mass.

  A Force (when continue applied) gives an acceleration :

  acceleration = Force / Mass (because the first law says : F = m * a )

  Conclusion: How bigger the mass (by a constant force), how less you see it moving.

  Or: The same force has less effect on heavier masses.

  The bee has more mass than the square, so it is not moved as much as the square is by the same force.

  Repost the link, but leave the text 'https://www.dropbox.com' out the link.

  Until you have enough reputation point, you can only post links as text ....

  So post links like this ...

  Give the spawners a instance boolean 'occupied'

  On Function "cubespawn"

  ______sub System > pick all (spawners)

  ___________Action set boolean 'occupied' for Spawers = false

  _____ System > Repeat (global var Cube times)

  _________sub > Spawner > is boolean instance variable set ('occupied')

  _________System > pick random instance (spawner)

  _________ _______action .. spawn an object

  ________________.... set boolean 'occupied' for Spawers = true

  OddConfection

  Here's a working example capx (r244)

  It doesn't use Families but is fairly similar to what 99Instances2Go suggested

  Perfect example.
