  It's not clear what you want, but this gets things in order. It may help, even if it's not what you want.

  You don't need a separate variable at all. You already have two values that hold the state: the frame numbers themselves. Also, you method is inefficient as the frames are set every tick. This method only changes the frame 'on touched'. (Doesn't make much difference yet, but as things get bigger, it's better practice to reduce overhead).

  Just do this on the second layout's event sheet.

  You can't. You'll have to use a Family instance variable to tag the ones you care about, then Pick by comparison/evaluate to isolate those, when needed.

  The Timer behaviour is the most versatile mechanism to use.

  Sounds like you don't actually have the event sheet set for that Layout. Double-check.

  You can include Event sheets in another Event sheet. Put your common code on one, and include it for any others that need it. Right-click at the very end of an Event sheet to see the popup menu with "Include event sheet".

  This has to do with how computers store numbers. I believe internally C2 uses a range of 0 to 1 for opacity, but has to convert the value to the 0 to 100 range. This leads to inaccuracies. You'll see many forum posts about checking exact numbers. It's generally best to assume a small range. Checking round(timeTravelable.Opacity) = 70 will also work.

  If you log the values of opacity in the Console, you see that the opacity in question is actually 69.999999, where as the other is 50.

  The joy of computer math!

  The error message issue can be explained: the engine stops at that point, so the music plays, since it isn't restarting every 1/60 of a second.

  You can't manipulate two of the same object at the same time. Just make a second family, the same as monster. Then you can search the second one.

  This can be done with Families.

  Don't use Wait. Look at the Timer behaviour.
