  Use the Timer behaviour. You have full control then.

  Project (1)_BHT.capx

  Your main problem was that you have < instead of > in your off-screen check. I fixed Mario, but you can fix the others. I also made a few optimizations.

  Just post a mangled link - just make sure it's obvious how to unmangle it.

  You can do this easily with families, but it's harder without. Just store the couple of data points you need in some local variables in your first foreach (include the UID), then pick all again, then pick all BUT the saved UID (to get all other cars) and test against the locals. You may want to add some extra code to prevent testing twice, but this should get you started.

  Please read the "Events run top to bottom" section of the manual.

  You can't bury triggers inside of events. They should almost always be at the top level.

  In C2 your whole script runs every tick/(60th of a second), so there's nothing really standard for a seasoned programmer. You can't use a while loop to do timed events.

  For repetition issues, there are several threads on dealing with this. Here's one

  That's fine. I just use a picture of a clock to remind me of it's use.

  Add the Timer behaviour to an object. Add a counter instance variable. Set your counter, start timer (repeating/regular). OnTimer, decrement counter, if 0, turn off timer.

  C2 picks all instances by default, unless you specify a means of picking just one. For example, make an instance variable and set a different value per button. Now add a pick event that evaluates the value you want, and only that one will be picked. Post a CAPX if you need help.

  You need to do a 'Save as single file' to get a CAPX.

  What are you trying to do? Computers can't store infinitely large numbers - there's always a limit. Looks like you are encoding something, so a string would be better.

  Add a 'For each' and it will behave as you expect.

  Why don't you post your code?

  You have to associate a hitbox with a character, otherwise everything gets lumped together. Containers help here. To get the association right, the container item needs to be created dynamically, so I added another placement object, which then gets destroyed. There are other ways to do this. Also, use the Pin behaviour for position syncing.

  Yes, Timer uses dt.
