  REDVWIN I downloaded the file, but it says you are using release 159, and I have release 158.2. How do I update, or are you using beta updates?

  federer365 I got this error on the HTML5 platform testing on Google Chrome.

  If you deleted all the other animations, how did you get the bullets to disappear as you shot the gun?

  EncryptedCow A lot of work, but I'm sure it's worth the effort to be very organized!

  sqiddster You are awesome, you just saved me many headaches. Didn't even see the groups option!

  Nevermind, still stuck. I tried making 2 different types of bullets, 2 separate ammo sprites, and 2 separate Boolean instance variables and none worked.

  Hey Construct Community,

  Do you have any tips or methods to organizing your code?

  I use comments to separate each section, but my event sheet is getting quite large.

  Do the developers of Construct plan on adding a folder option to store multiple events and minimize for efficiency? I know MMF2 uses "Groups" to condense the code.

  Thanks.

  I think I figured it out. .AnimationFrame applies to the current animation, not all animations.

  That's for the reload animation to play. But it isn't even changing the value to get to the point where I need to reload.

  Hey Construct Community,

  I felt particularly clever when I created an Ammo HUD indicator like the one seen in Halo: Combat Evolved. I used the expression "AmmoIcon.AnimationFrame+1" to change the animation, and it works perfectly with the pistol. If you equip the machine gun, however, it stops working.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks everybody, I used Colludium's solution and it works like a charm.

  Hi Construct Community,

  How do I make a global number variable only natural numbers (0,1,2,3....) and exclude negative numbers? I'm making an ammo system, and I don't want the ammo count to go below zero.

  Thanks.

  Wow thank you so much, I was trying to figure out how to rotate the blocks! The floating numbers from the zombies are really awesome as well! The mechanic I have will work fine, thanks for trying. If I figure it out I'll be sure to tell you.

  I've implemented a mechanic where the player can change the firing mode of the machine gun from semi-automatic to automatic. If you press Z, it changes to automatic, and if you press X, it changes back to semi-automatic. I can't figure out how to get that same function with just the Z key (press once for auto, press again for semi).

  Simply run into the gun to pick it up, the .capx is commented.

  Thanks!
