  This is where a function will help you. Pass in the UID, pick it, and set your character widths there. Call it on the title screen too.

  The same logic applies for health:

  SingleCollisionTest_withHealth_r132.capx

  'For each' won't help in this case as 'On collision' is called for each collision already - only one target is picked at a time. You have to do something to have the subsequent calls blocked.

  You're doing something wrong if you need that many conditions. I think we need to see the bigger picture. Are you comfortable posting what you've got so far? Families may also help here.

  One suggestion: Have a Global for your level. 'On start of layout' setup whatever else needs to be configured, creating sprites, setting values, timers, etc, based on the level number. You can use a function for this (or not). At the end of the current timer, add one to the level counter, and 'Restart layout'.

  That can't work. You call a function once, then it returns, so the Every X seconds code won't be called again. Just move the code out of the function. It will only be called if LevelNum=2 anyway.

  toggle-something

  Easiest way would be:

  variable = 1 - variable

  With variable being either 0 or 1, it will always toggle (1 - 0 = 1, 1 - 1 = 0)

  Careful, I've never seen a 15 day guarantee.

  A simple trick is to set the bullet to be invisible on the collision, and also add a check for visibility to the 'On collision' check. Since only the first target checked will have the bullet still visible, only one is eliminated.

  You need to INCLUDE your Enemy event sheet in your Player one. Go to the Event tab, and pick Add include.

  You can always do a Save as single file, and post the CAPX to somewhere like dropbox.com so someone can have a look.

  Sounds like you turned off a layer. Go to the Layers tab and see if you've unchecked one of the layers (and therefore hidden it). The tutorial tells you how to get the the Layers tab if you aren't sure.

  If I can make a suggestion... I think you would find this simpler to work with if you only have one object, with four animation frames. Then you just have to switch which animation is active, based on the given state.
