  Hey —!

  You can use an array to store X and Y and just set the array coordinates when the keys are pressed.

  Check this capx: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s0uculd5kgqmc ... .capx?dl=0

  Cheers.

  Hey —!

  Check this capx and see if that's what you need...

  Great game, by the way. I love Sunset Riders!

  Cheers!

  Care to share the capx? Because this doesn't make any sense...

  I didn't test it recycling sprites. Will do at some point. And, yes, collisions are disabled. Until now it seems fine in terms of performance...

  Yeah. Already got it working. CPU use is 6% higher with the sprites. Using a continuous rate of 100 particles.

  I really don't get why you must use the same object for both teams.

  That said, you could get away with it by programming your own targeting behavior as funcytions and more specific conditions for targetting and shooting (every tick definitely won't cut it).

  Yeah, — I guessed it was a hail mary. Been there, done that.

  But you may be more successful in converting them than you think. In the end, they might even be better looking, than the initial approach.

  Also, if you care to share a capx with just the particles you have now, I'd love to try and convert them... Just for the challenge and bbbecause it may be useful in the future. Two minds work better than one.

  Cheers!

  Hey dop2000 and senecaa!

  I believe you're talking about different bars. Senecaa seems to want a "speed bar" that is reduced constantly and increased on tap.

  I modified dop2000's capx and added this functionality: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm6mq4dxguwwj ... .capx?dl=0

  Hope this helps.. Cheers!

  Hey dop2000!

  You definitely would have to use your own tailor-made particle system. In the built-in particle system particles are not independent entities. Once they're "shot" by the generator, you doesn't have control of their movement.

  So, my suggestion would be you go for the spawn/destroy system, no recycling if that is a mess for you, and make some performance tests. Maybe it won't affect your final result that much. Also, do ALL your particles need this kind of control? 'Cause you could just stick to the built-int particle system for the ones that doesn't and save performance, while using your own particle system for the ones that do...

  Cheers.

  Also, you could use the action Go to Layout (by name) and just type the name in, since this has a box not a dropdown...

  Hey Rhindon!

  When a player deselects a cell, run a Repeat x times loop, in which x is the array.Width. Inside the loop, check the value stored in the array and compare it to the uid of the deselected cell, if it matches, delete the index. The array will fix indexes by itself.

  Hope this helps. Cheers!
