  Second array? If the name is Array2 you can just set it Array2.At(0, random(Array.Height)) for example.

  Sure not every condition can be passed to expression, yet that some common programming practice can be performed with proper expression writing. Sometimes I want to put complex ternary in one line some other time I'll just do straight event sheeting.

  Set value to:

  Array.At(0, random(Array.Height)) for 0 index column

  Array.At(1, random(Array.Height)) for 1 index column

  Array.At(2, random(Array.Height)) for 2 index column

  In expression you directly assign value to specific attribute. The comparison can be anything but it needs to be put into a value/property/attribute. works just like if else condition (ternary) even nested one. So yes everything were put in action and you can leave the condition blank or under certain condition.

  Of course you can put & operator for adding extra condition in expression. For mirrored the expression using width parameter but negative (-width).

  You probably want to use Ternary operator to put action based on several criteria under single event like what I do in following case: onicstudios.wordpress.com/2021/02/04/formula-that-moves-object-efficiently

  Try search on forum with keyword 'ternary' so you will end up with relevant topics.

  The most extreme use case I came up with is this one:

  Well yes maybe not directly but hopefully you find some logic about matching letter basically. One of them is by utilizing tokenat expression for checking contained character.

  I just love to think about possibilities to achieve something. Maybe the case you brought fascinate me to actualize the idea. Hopefully I can work on it in weekend.

  The easiest way possible to make enemy chasing player while avoiding building is just mimick player movement with sort of delay. When player moves he will drop kind of trace/trail as waypoint for the enemy to follow through. Waypoint can be spawned when player make a direction turn or timed every x second.

  That's okay going on your route that way. You can store several words in variable, list, array, dictionary or even text. Threat them as string so you can use tokenat to pick a word that met certain condition. For example you have variable "utensil" with value: fork#spoon#knife

  Now you can check in condition whether there is any value has one of these word:

  For 0 to 2

  farsi_input = Tokenat(utensil, loopindex, "#")

  Trigger once

  Then you can call object based on farsi_input with whatever you want to do with them. Put those object in Family or separate them in different animation name will make things efficient.
