  Point taken. I'll look into that. Thanks.

  I have 3 nests that take damage when hit by a bullet.the nest takes damage, and the health bar width is set using this formula

  nest.health/NestHealth * healthbarFrontNest1.Width. The bar goes down, but the sprite sticks around long after the bar is solid red.

  Under my eventsheet "Structures" there are two events, one overlapping and the other a right double click. Neither of them fire. Should be pretty straightforward, and yet I'm scratching my head on this one.

  I think I see what's happening. When I run it from Construct 2, and I have it selected on a particular level, it runs that level. At least that's what it looks like.

  In my game, level PP should preload. It does every once in awhile, but most of the time, it just jumps to level 1. Any ideas?

  If I recall correctly, if you're using global layers you should make sure that your layers are named consistently across all layouts and that they use the same hierarchy eg if ItemStore layer is layer 3 on Level 1, then it should also be called ItemStore on layout PP and also be on layer 3. If you don't have that layer set up in other layouts with the same name and hierarchy it won't work as intended. Hope that makes sense.

  So if I understand correctly, whatever layers I have or will have throughout my multi level game, I will need to that in my global. Is that correct? I have a level named Start in my first layout called PP. I don't need that layer in Level one, but will it need to show up there as well as in the global layout? Thanks.

  I have a store panel that is I intend to use through multiple levels in my game stored on layer ItemStore in my Global layout. In Level1 in my OpenStore function, I set ItemStore to visible. However, it is not showing up in the game. Hmmm....

  I have my player sprite set up to where it moves via arrow controls on the keyboard and it works as designed. I have added touch gesture to an up arrow which does some same thing as the up arrow. The touch gesture fires, but the platform behavior does nothing. I've been told that I need to add a "Player Platform Behavior simulate Jump" to my tap up arrow event. Where do I do that at? Below is my capx and the Player options available to me. Thanks.

  Here's what I see when I look under the player Platform attributes.

  Where do you find that at? I looked at the On tap gesture for the control called "touchUp" and didn't see that?

  I'm making an android version of my game. I want the player to fire bullets using the eight arrows on the lower left of the screen. Does anyone know how I can make the bullets go in the direction of the arrow once the arrow is pressed? Thanks.

  Thanks. This project has been drawn out and rewritten. Starting to get loopy and miss things. Thanks again.
