  A raycast can be used for many things.

  Look here for more: https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/behavior-reference/line-of-sight

  In your case you would use a raycast to "cast" a "ray". The ray is basically a line from one point to another. Then its like you travel along this line. If you hit something then you know that the ray is intersected. You can then get the X and Y coordinates for that position, and place your portal there.

  I'm not sure what's happening but to get around it you could use a text object instead. Just set the origin point to the bottom and then whenever you append text it will always be at the bottom. The only problem I could see with that though, is that you couldn't scroll up. You would have to implement a way to scroll yourself.

  I think you could do:

  On text changed -> scroll to bottom.

  It it going to be like the game portal where you can shoot them? If thats the case, then I would recommend using a raycast to place the portal.

  You could check if the circle is overlapping a square. Then set a variable to that square's UID. Then check again if the circle is overlapping a square but only ones that dont have the UID of the first one.

  You could instead use a variable for speed and tween that variable from 600 to 300.

  You could put another For loop inside the first one.

  Im not sure what you mean by this, can you post an image of it?

  Im trying to make a for loop repeat. Like it could go from 0 to 100 but then go back to 0 and repeat. Is this possible?

  From the manual:

  Compare orientation

  Compare the device's current orientation, if the device has a supported inclinometer. Alpha is the compass direction in degrees. Beta is the device front-to-back tilt in degrees (i.e. tilting forwards away from you if holding in front of you). A positive value indicates front tilt and a negative value indicates back tilt. Gamma is the device left-to-right tilt in degrees (i.e. twisting if holding in front of you). A positive value indicates right tilt and a negative value indicates left tilt.

  You can use the 'Touch' object to compare the device orientation.
