  You have to look in this path, where the xxxxxx is your login account:

  You can flip it. Drag the top/middle handle below the bottom, with hotspot at Bottom-left. (You'll see the height in the properties goes negative.)

  Move the Set state to 102 to the top, rather than the bottom. It's taking 2.5 seconds to reach that line, that is stopping your spawn code. (The Trigger once in event 30 is't going to work.)

  No, a constant *can not change*. Whether a variable does or doesn't change doesn't make it a constant, just because it didn't happen to change. As I said, if you don't find value in it, don't worry about it.

  Edit: it's also a matter of identifying the value. In a=b/60, what does 60 mean? If I have FPS=60; a=b/FPS, that has more meaning (assuming it's clear that FPS is frames-per-second). The named constant helps the next person who looks at the code to understand what is going on, rather than just having numbers scattered around.

  Constants are meant as a convenience to avoid having hard coded numbers in your code. Instead of having something like a = b/60, you'd have your constant set as 60, and write a=b/constant. The advantage is that if you need that value in multiple places, and decided to change it later, you only have to change one value, rather than searching for it everywhere it is used.

  It's up to you if you want to use a constant or not.

  Ninja'd, but anyway:

  To get 20% of something, you multiply it by 0.2 (that is 20/100).

  So assuming I understand, if damage is 60, but you want to reduce it by 20%, 60 * 0.2 = 12, so 60 - 12 = 48 (adjusted damage). What was being pointed out above, is that you can do it simpler by multiplying by 100%-20% = 80%. So 60 * 0.8 = 48.

  You can also use Function.ParamCount to check how many params are sent, and adjust you logic. It's just as valid to do as Gearworkdragon suggests and just use invalid numbers to check if you should interpret that value or not (a frame of -1 is obviously invalid, so skip that code).

  Another alternative is to check the distance between that current and last and add more circles in between. It's a bit of trigonometry, but fairly basic.

  You index the parameters. So you would access Function.Param(0) and Function.Param(1) and Function.Param(4) .
