  This is a previous example:

  Creating Progress Bars

  Event 13 uses the same calculation.

  That's the maximum width it will draw the bar when Current/Max = 1. Everything else is a proportional fraction of that width.

  You can't use Wait to simulate this. Wait spawns off and runs whatever is underneath IT in parallel. You should be fine with what you are doing. The sub events are sequential.

  Sorry about that. My upload speed took a nosedive for some reason. It's done now.

  Worked for me. Doing this kind of algorithm inside C2 will never be as fast as doing it in a plugin.

  Pick your group, do a 'For Each (ordered)', add 'Stop loop' to stop at the first one.

  Edit: ack - ninja'd!

  I don't see any of C2's behaviours working for this. That's why I was suggesting old-school flood-fill & custom path-finding. Otherwise, lots of little blocks, or compromise with a grid-based system.

  This is just the inkling of an idea, but I'm thinking Canvas can help. I've just got solids here, but you can paste in textures. That's the digging taken care of. For enemy AI, I'm thinking a combination of more hidden canvas layers & node deposits on direction changes. You can use flood fill to see if the enemy can reach the player or not, and then with help of maybe flood again and/or the nodes as helpers for finding routes to the player, you can do your own path finding.

  Sorry, I changed a bit more than I needed. The key was actually the 'For each'. You have to test the touched objects individually.

  You typically do this by storing the UID of your paired object. Often it's handy to have both objects know about the other so that whichever is picked first, you can then pick the other.

  r130 is an old Beta release. You should at least move up to the latest stable release r139.
