  From your code, you should only have a single enemy finding a path every 0.15 seconds cause you are only picking one instance with the "pick random" condition.

  Your last event could be causing the problems though because it would be setting has_moved to false on the same tick that an enemy is finding a path and setting Has_Moved to true.

  What is the behaviour that you are trying to achieve? Do you want all of your enemies to find a valid path on the same tick?

  Can you share your code to make it easier to diagnose?

  Offset the origin point for your cursor sprite. Have a look at the example I posted in this topic yesterday.

  I made a small example that shows how to lock the mouse movement to a 16x16 grid and generate paths along valid roads within the grid.

  Request the project file using the Ajax plugin. Then on completed, use the load action in the dictionary object to load from Ajax.lastdata.

  Swap your "on W and S is down" events for on "w or S pressed"

  If you're using the Platform Behaviour you can use the Set Vector Y action and set it to a negative value to get upwards motion.

  No Roadmap, but if you read the release info they often discuss incoming features and ideas.

  I've had this happen when the chrome viewing scale has been changed.

  Assuming you are not using any movement behaviours. If you are you can easily modify this to work with them.

  Create a Boolean variable "Var_Float" and a Boolean variable called "Var_Cooldown"

  If you just want to do gamepads then yes it is easy to do a single row, but it would get whacky for keyboard codes because there are a lot of them and they don't go sequentially from 0 upwards. Typically starts at 8 (backspace) and goes to 222 (single quote) with lots of gaps in between.

  i.e. near the end it goes 190,191,192,219,220,221,222

  easier to just plonk both in the array and reference one from the other.

  You want to use an array and in X,Y0 store the button indexes, then in X,Y1 store the corresponding names.

  Then set up a system to match the correct button index (based on the index of the button pressed) in that array and reference the adjacent value to display.

  i.e.

  Y0 - 0,1,2,3

  Y1 - A,B,X,Y

  It's a bit of a combo of both. It's all 2D and uses Oblique projection.

  OP. It's completely doable, it's mainly the art style, collision polygon management, and Z-sorting that are the crux.

  Look at some of the RPG and Platformer examples to get the hang of movement etc. The jumping on top and falling down holes is simple Y axis movement but using Z sorting of objects to occlude or reveal and give the illusion of depth.

  This might help with the Z-Sorting: construct.net/en/courses/making-order-system-19
