  The object inherits the physics behavior from the family. So whatever behavior you set on the family the object will have.

  Its basically the same as having the behavior on each individual object, you can just simplify a lot of your code with addressing families instead of having to do it to every individual object.

  You can find more info on families in the manual https://www.scirra.com/manual/142/families

  Or ask more here if that did not answer your question

  Well in principle i could, but the walls move around, so i would then have to keep track of where the walls are and where they are not. The line-of-sight thing is more flexible.

  Thx for the try. for me that makes the shooter jump to the location of enemy one (when i run it at least) which is not what i wanted.

  I actually solved it by using the line-of-sight behavior.

  I made an object behind the wall and if the shooter has line of sight on that object it will not attack the enemies but go between them.

  supply your capx if possible. The steps we have provided should do what you ask.

  Then we can debug it and see what the problem is.

  you could use the pin behavior to pin your player to the platform as long as he is not moving. when he starts moving unpin him.

  The is an event called "Is between angels" which compares if the object is between two angles.

  use the action "set angle toward position" on your gun and set it to x = point.x, y = point.y

  I don't know what else I can say besides thank you. Perhaps offer you a bitcoin donation for all your help?

  thx for the offer, but no thanks. I am just happy to help.

  I have the philosophy that if I can help answer some questions, then the smart people we have in this forum might have more time to help answer my own questions

  There you go.. I updated the .capx to also do the conversion to days, hours, minutes and seconds for you

  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2560922/mobiledev/forum/saveTimestamp.capx

  As you can see there is no need to store anything else then the unix timestamp.

  I am a bit confused.... have you looked at the example I posted? you will get the interval between the two clicks in milliseconds.

  then just convert the milliseconds to whatever you want: days, hours, minutes, seconds etc.

  I do not see a reason why you would do all the events...

  Problem Description

  Turret behavior "acquire target" does not works as expected. It seems like it tries to target the first(lowest UID as far as I can tell) instance of that object and if that is not in range it does not try to target other instances of that object.

  Attach a Capx

  setup 1

  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2560922/mobiledev/forum/turretBehaviorNotWorkingAsExpected.capx

  (the next one here is just to make sure the second scenario mentioned below is understood)

  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2560922/mobiledev/forum/turretBehaviorNotWorkingAsExpected2.capx

  Description of Capx

  The capx contains a "shooter" sprite object with bullet and turret behavior and 2 types of targets.

  Steps to Reproduce Bug

  You have to run the capx in 2 variations to see the issue i am talking about.

  • Run the .capx
  • the "shooter" will move in range of the target with the number "2" on it and shoot
  • After 3 seconds he will switch target to the target with the number "1" on it. (it will be the one closest to the bottom)
  • That is what I would expect (as shown below it shoots at target "1"
    
  • Now move the bottom "1" to a location further to the right (outside the range of the shooter turret) as shown in this screenshot:
    

  Observed Result

  The "shooter" will after the 3 seconds still keep on shooting at the target "2"

  For me it looks like the "shooter" only looks at the first instance of target "1" and decides it is out of range and goes back to target "2" (as would be expected when the target is out of range)

  Expected Result

  I would expect the "shooter" to switch target to the second target "1" as it is clearly in range of the "shooter" turrets range.

  Try this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2560922/mobiledev/forum/saveTimestamp.capx

  It gets the unix timestamp (time since Jan 01 1970) in milliseconds and stores it in webstorage.

  Second click (and the once after) will update the difference in time since the first click.

  Hope that clears it up a bit for you.

  And p.s. you cannot bother me. I know how it is to be stuck on something. I just hope I can supply some help.
