  I have no idea what you talk about, i talk about a "spawner engine" (as in the question).

  Lets use the tools designed for this.

  Containers, timers and booleans.

  All triggers should be on top of events

  That is a heavy story. Placing a trigger on top of a top level condition is (especially for beginners) a practice that can (and will) avoid a lot of 'logic' problems.

  Yet it is no rule. It is rather a lazy recommendation (i am that lazy too to recommencement this) because it is so difficult to explain.

  A trigger runs instantly, when it catches that event that it is designed to catch, no matter where it is coded in the sheet.

  If a trigger is buried deep down, as a sub event, it has to look up to find out if it can run. We are used to read the events top down, so a down up logic is hard to grasp, mostly. When the trigger meets an 'else' it gets stuck, by instance. So, the benefits (for beginners, including myself) of always placing a trigger on top beats a lot of problems. Yet, the advanced user surely knows how go along with it, but probably cant explain it well.

  About

  Or:

  Set animation to default

  Then the animation is default. Should the game check it all the time and put the animation to default even though it already is or does the game check that: animation is already default and does not have an impact on it (does not do anything).

  Should not worry about that one. Because C2 will only set the condition to true when

  the new animation is different from the active animation or when the current animation stopped playing.

  This means that it does not hurt the system to set it on every tick, though there might be some very very minimal performance loss since it has to search if the animation name exists.

  You are right, better listen to a friend, especially when they suggest a 'Wait'.

  Never listen to a stranger who is strongly against the use of 'Wait'.

  I apologise for taking this comment literally :

  I think It doesnt seem right to place the timer in the Player. As each instances / objects of Sphere has their own timer, which if any Sphere getting kicked, the corresponding Sphere will start the timer and respawn after 50 secs/ counts.

  I should have known that there is no 50 seconds patience.

  Thank you sincerely for your time.

  In the tutorial characters walk above (on the) solid 'ground'. It is a 2D game engine.

  You try to make the characters walk buried middle in the solid 'ground'.

  You can use Functions, because functions start picking from scratch.

  You can use (under some circumstances) the system condition 'pick all' to broaden the picklist.

  But besides that, you are working with instances of the same object. And that should have a sub forum already.

  But, to make a long story short. It is just the way how Construct works. Once you understand it, you will love it.

  Conditions pick, actions work on the picked items, sub conditions start picking from the previous picked items.

  I prefer collision detection/overlap. Burt only when used as first conditon in a top level event.
