  Yep. It is. This was more an exercise on "can I do that?" than a "hey! let's use it!", lol.

  There are probably better ways to do that using a plugin that can actually draw lines or something like this. Using that much sprites and the recurssive function will always be heavy on cpu.

  Been playing with it for a while and added some forking... Not perfect, but it looks more like lightning now.

  Thanks! Anyway, it's Jim Bumgardner's work. I just ported it from actionscript to construct.

  Hey mdvgames!

  I just implemented this example https://krazydad.com/bestiary/bestiary_lightning.html in construct. Check the capx below, play with it and if you need any help, just let me know.

  DEMO: http://constructgamelab.000webhostapp.com/lightning/

  CAPX: https://www.dropbox.com/s/az5gk7m9s6wql ... .capx?dl=0

  Hope this helps. Cheers!

  It's working fine. You're probably testing on a desktop.

  While the Touch on a touch-enabled device is recognized both as Touch and as Click, a mouse click, on a non-touch device, is only recognized as Click. So. If you test on a desktop computer with a mouse, the Touch event will never be activated.

  Try going to http://constructgamelab.000webhostapp.com/test in a smartphone and you'll see it working.

  cheers.

  Hey —!

  Your code seems to be correct. No idea why it's not working. Can you share a capx or something?

  Have you checked the Project Properties?

  Hey DiabloOvermind!

  That would work too, but note that the random pick could pick instances that are already invisible. You should have another event that identifies which ones are visible and pick a random instance from among them only.

  Cheers.

  Hey Braus!

  What exactly are you trying to do? What I understood was that you want to pick a random instance every second and hide it, right?

  If that's the case, try something like this:

  Hope this helps. Cheers!

  Hey farsen!

  Just so you know... The problem with your code is that you're telling the sprite to mirror and simulate direction press without changing the "action" variable. You should only change the "action" variable, as shown in the image below:

  

  hope this clarifies the issue. Cheers!

  I'll take a look. Meanwhile, I had already made a capx, so, check it...

  Can you share the capx? If you implemented it exactly how it is in the Tutorial, this shouldn't happen, since it's a "On collision" event, which means it only happens once, when colliding.

  You could use a timer or a time interval and scroll the camera to specific (or random) positions.

  Something like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l94ehd65ohid3 ... .capx?dl=0

  In this example you can trigger the shaking by pressing any key. You may configure some shaking attributes by setting the constants (use variables if your shaking will change along the game):

  SHAKE_INTERVAL: The interval, in seconds, between two shakes.

  SHAKE_AMMOUNT: Number of shakes.

  SHAKE_H_STR: Maximum horizontal displacement in pixels every shake.

  SHAKE_V_STR: Maximum vertical displacement in pixels every shake.

  Hope this helps. Cheers!

  The scaling and opacity change can be set by multiplying the decrement by dt, as usual.

  For instance:

  sprite.Opacity = sprite.Opacity - opacityDecrement * dt
  sprite.Scale = sprite.Scale - sacleDecrement * dt
  [/code:35snmafm]
  
  The spawning will be already fine if you're using a time tag for spawning, like "Every X seconds".
  
  Hope this helps. Cheers!
