  It's not associated at this point. It must have belonged elsewhere, and that IF was deleted. If you try to add Else to the len() IF, it will add one, in black.

  Event 3 needs to be a sub-event of 2, it's not. You can see by the indentation its at the same level as On_start. Drag it under event 2 - you should see it position accordingly.

  LoopIndex starts at zero, so dividing by zero will definitely break things.

  I think I've used -60 as the cutoff, so you could just drop by a factor of 3 each time. You just have to experiment and decide what makes sense to you.

  You don't want to reset to a fixed position, it needs to be relative.

  Your test needs to be 1.5 times the height, and the jump needs to be 2 times the height.

  If Y >= (1.5 times the height) then Set Y to Self.Y - (2 times the height of the image)

  Sorry, I've done nothing with other languages. Presumably you'd need help in translating, so whoever helps you can probably offer suggestions.

  Having said that, if you enter any arbitrary text in the character-set box and press refresh, the program will strip out duplicates, and only store unique characters. That might get you started.

  It definitely supports other languages. The default always shows Latin, you have to enter the characters you want translated yourself.

  You can have a second family with the same objects.

  It seems contradictory, but computers can't handle fractions /decimals well - there is always a limit to precision. You should always try to work with whole numbers, and only convert to a decimal at the last moment. So switch to counting by 1, and divide by 100 only when you need the actual scale value.

  This kind issue is generally dealt with via a recursive function. The first object is passed to the function which passes the next object to the same function, etc. The trick is to make sure the recursion eventually stops. Sorry, I couldn't follow your events, so I isolated the solution. You can drag the mirrors around to see the interaction.

  It runs every tick, but that could be optimized to only run when something changes.

  Add a blank subevent so you can add a local variable, then grab the parent value first, spawn, and then use that value.

  You aren't capturing the mothers speed before you create the second sprite. Store that first in a local variable, and use that for the calculation. Right now you spawn a new sprite and then send it's speed (100) to the function.

  The tutorial does that. The API file comes from PlayFab.

  I have a tutorial that does this:

  construct.net/en/tutorials/add-playfab-cloud-storage-2479

  Briefly, you add await to the call, and then a 'Wait for previous actions to complete' as the next event.
