  This is a common mistake. Don't separate your logic. Use one on-tap event, and then use a sub-event to check Layer is visible ELSE do the other action.

  Yes. Picking provides a shortcut for the picked objects. Everything else follows the standard rules.

  You are thinking of killCount like an instance variable. It's global. The pick is building a collection of sprites. The Destroy works because it's working with that collection, but the global variable doesn't know anything about the collection, so it runs once. AllanR's suggestion is the optimal way of getting the count of sprites in the collection.

  But when you spawn or create a new object, you have to specify the layer. If you leave it at zero, it will be on the background. Set it to spaceship.LayerNumber.

  This is a quick example.

  Developing plugins is a hassle. I generally have make new a directory for changes to be picked up until the final bundle can be made. You might have to do a full cache clear, however there are two version number locations - make sure you've updated both:

  addon.json and plugin.js

  No they don't share data. You create a family instance variable for the HP that each type will use, and another for the damage HP. Then back in the editor, you set the type HP for each enemy. Copies from then on will copy the same unique value. Your calculation then reduces the current HP by the type HP value.

  Don't use Wait, use a Timer, which you have full control over.

  If your enemies are separate objects, you can use Families to associate them together.

  The letters need to be left-justified, not centered.

  That's just it. It's not valid. Just because it's directly below the IF doesn't guarantee it's associated with it. That's why it's red, to point out the problem.

  It's not! If it's red it's not associated. Just try adding a new Else and move on.
