  To generate something procedural you don't always need array. Array is kind of hash table which is collection of variables that defined by index or another analogy is cells in Excel spreadsheet that can be read and write values (number, string).

  If there are more than one type of solid object, you will likely to create Family and add those solid as member. Let's name the family class "solid_family". Then set condition > system > compare between two values > distance(Sprite.X, Sprite.Y, solid_family.X, solid_family.Y) less or equal to 10. Proceed to action and execute what you want to do when condition met.

  And for 8-directions behavior you need to specify certain condition that will trigger an action. For the action part simply pick simulate control and choose control: Right.

  Make event 6 and 9 as sub-event and everything is good. Here the file if you want to compare the difference: dropbox.com/s/yql38uaj0mjss4n/iso_tile_map_example_rev.capx

  Ha ha nice soft-body jiggle really satisfying to watch. Combining this jello-physics with meta balls will make things even cooler.

  It's on stable state now that everyone can test tight control scheme:

  mym-tight-control.netlify.app

  Arrow keys

  Left, Right key to move cursor side to side

  Up, Down kwy to tilt marbles within column

  Space bar - Center line shifting

  Ctrl or Z key - Rotary cyclic around center

  R key - restart

  Almost forget to mention that both "worm holes" serve as warping gate to make warp-shifting "physically sense".

  When confront a bat upfront our little buddy can't take advantage his shield to protect himself. I love to see parry mechanic when enemy attack upfront maybe a bounce-back a little.

  Rotary center roundabout activated by pressing Ctrl. Working nicely with full or partial marbles around the center, with bugs still left however.

  Put a physics condition 'compare velocity' with overal velocity equal to 0. Next set action to make object physics immovable or disabled.

  What kind of mechanic you want to achieve? Something you can referring to because I lost an understanding when you said the sprite should not moving but offsetting over time. Is it a moving platform?

  It is gravity that naturally keep it moving down. Set the object as immovable first then when something trigger or collide just make it movable again.

  Set physics to immovable and see if that takes to desired result.

  Try differentiate between movement area and weapon range. Melee weapon should behave similarly to unit movement plus with it's extended reach. Ranged weapon should just able to cover any terrain within range.

  See at my example; dropbox.com/s/mcd4qp16mp07lce/path_orient3.capx

  There is a square overlay with tiny opacity when something blocked unit way.

  

  I didn't remove them as a visual cue for what full range looks like. So my method is define unit range then do flood-fill for possible movement area.
