  thanks for this.

  I get a runtime error when clicking in the last .cap and it closes?

  For the 2nd sqaudron it is because your ship's index is too high compared to the image points.

  Say for the ship with an index of 7, your telling it to go to an image point 7 (which doesn't exist) so you just need to go -5 for the greater than 5 index event thing.

  (click for full size)

  or you could go something like

  formation.ImagePointY("pos" & (loopindex-((formation.Value('formationnr')-1)*5)))
  formation.ImagePointX("pos" & (loopindex-((formation.Value('formationnr')-1)*5)))
  [/code:1mtt5ogz]
  
  to save having to do seperate events for each formation.

  [quote:2d0a6zrg]So, maybe it could resize itself automatically to fit the size of the sprite? Would greatly improve my workflow.

  I'm not sure, I usually import pictures that larger than my screen - I wouldn't want my window to go bigger than that.

  Although if it remembered the last resize of the window it might be useful.

  remember that you can make things that have physics "immovable" if its just a background thing for example.

  you could do something like this for changing the player's animation angle:

  <img src="http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1024727/images/angle.PNG">

  what I did was make some subevents, which use the system condition "compare" then I just compared the angle of RTS motion to check whether it was between 0-90 etc.

  I'm using sprite meshes, and when I make one object 50% opacity for example the object behind it will go weird/disapear?

  is this a bug? or just the way its meant to work?
