  3D perspective projection certainly is possible. There are a number of ways you could do it. Check this out for some info extentofthejam.com/pseudo

  As for a construct demo project, I'll have a look and see if I can find one.

  Just so you know, you can still use the system "pick by evaluate" in this situation, but when you are evaluating the expression you need to represent "true" with "1" and "false" with "0"

  For example to pick all sprites with false variable:

  Pick By Evaluate: Pick: SpriteName where SpriteName.booleanvariablename=0

  I know it's not helping you on how to use the moveto with the dragging but I don't think it works. I Fixed it for you though :) https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkmrWgxeuxlKhIcDw9lvzBLdeMW6PQ?e=CP7Ya3

  The issue was the Moveto behaviour so i removed it and used lerp SetY, with a boolean to toggle the sinking.

  

  Super neat little game you got going on :)

  "For now, I compare the name of the items, which deletes all the items of the same name, but my first though was that I could compare their actual position in the array instead. So once I click on a slot, I use the position I clicked on to compare it with an array."

  While I agree that the system is too complex and it would help you to redo it, you could append the item name with the array position number when it is added, then use that to handle the deletion like you said.

  Working fine for me.

  Perhaps share your events to see if they are correct?

  using if sprite var itemname="string" and then destroying that sprite is what is causing the problems as it destroys all sprites that equal match that string but the array events are only triggered for the one that was clicked on

  The actions that handle clearing an inventory slot when giving away an item were disabled in the event sheet. Enabling them solves the problem of not being able to add more items. However it also destroys other similar sprites, but does not remove them from the array which means they can never be removed because they don't exist to click on

  Looking at your array_inv_items the cheese(sword) and apples which are loaded into the array are not being removed from the array when given away. Therefore I would say that no other items can be loaded into the array because all of the array elements are full.

  There are other issues such as multiple instances of an item being destroyed when giving one of theose item types away.

  Is the desired behaviour this: Move item into 1 of 4 inventory slots, when the item is used/given away that inventory slot then becomes empty?

  Are you also wanting to move other remaining items towards the left when one is used so that when a new item is added it is added at the end or right hand side?

  No-one can help you when your question includes no project file and your description is indecipherable.

  Try re-explaining your issue more clearly and perhaps include a project file or at least an image of your events.

  It works using a pick condition

  demo project in r212 https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkmrWgxeuxlKhIZ_GEdQ-lOfJdG1xQ?e=FivpNt

  Use two different tilemap objects for your upper and lower walls.

  If you used 3 layers: fg, player & bg and two tilemaps, 1 for lower fg walls and one for upper bg walls then the player in the layer in the middle you wouldn't even need events.

  You could also use function with pick events. You don't need the function, could just put the events in the is jumping event but it might be useful to part it out.

  So:

  - On player jump call function "destroy platform"

  --(function"destroy platform")

  -- Platform - Pick Nearest to player XY

  -- Destroy platform

  See manual entry for Text-Input

  For comparing just use a string variable and compare to others

  Hi MrRiker30

  Unfortunately positioned sound is broken in chromium. It isn't an issue with Construct. A couple of Construct users have logged bug reports with the Chromium team and I recently added a small project to that bug report using simple javascript to demonstrate the issue. Hopefully they can get it solved in one of the next few releases.

  As NWJS is based on Chromium, the issue is present there and unfortunately there are no workarounds.

  Your best course of action is to move to non-positioned audio and, if you want to, use the fade volume action with appropriate events to change volume based on distances.

  Sorry for the bad news.

  I would use containers. And then there are many options to set the follow behaviour depending on what you are after.

  Here's a small example showing using containers and lerping position of follower to leader waypoints saved as instance variables every .2 secs.

  This works for any number of instances with no picking required, but you could handle the movement in any way you like
