  Your "Every 1 second" event subtracts damage from all enemy instances. If you want to only damage one enemy, you need to pick this instance using some condition - for example, nearest to the player, overlapping the player, random instance etc.

  I always suggest never using "Trigger once" condition with multiple object instances or in loops.

  Here is an updated project:

  Oh, and you have an extra comma at the end of JSON, you need to delete it.

  Why did you open another post about the same thing?

  "{""key"":" & var & "}"

  Although properly formatting JSON string with all those double and triple quotation marks is pretty difficult. Here is how I prefer to do it:

  Two options. First, you can use a family Balls:

  For each Balls : 
  .. Create Ball at (Balls.X, Balls.Y)
  .. Ball Set angle to ....
  

  The second option is to create a new ball with a function:

  For each Ball : 
  .. Call function NewBall(Ball.x, Ball.y)
  
  On Function NewBall (parameters: x, y)
  .. Create Ball at (x, y)
  .. Ball Set angle to ....

  If you want to do this with scripting, you should probably post in Scripting subforum:

  construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/scripting-51

  With events you can receive the same response with AJAX and parse it into JSON object.

  See the official example.

  Events are executed from top to bottom, so the first event requests fullscreen, and then the second event cancels it immediately.

  Use sub-events with Else condition. And you don't need the variable, you can check if the game is in fullscreen using Browser condition.

  On Tap
  ..Browser Is Fullscreen : Cancel fullscreen
  ..Else : Request fullscreen

  I sometimes need to work on a huge project (over 8GB). Most of it are videos, but there are also tons of large images. Opening the project takes over a minute, and rendering spritesheets for the first preview about two minutes. But after that it works and runs fine, and the preview starts instantly (unless I change the graphics, then it needs to re-generate the spritesheets again). My specs: RYZEN 9 4900H/RTX2060, 24GB RAM.

  You don't need two 16GB video cards, what you need is optimize the layouts where memory usage is excessive.

  Looks like the response from Firebase comes in JSON format. You can load (parse) it into JSON object, then loop through all scores in JSON and copy them into an array. Then sort the array and display sorted values on the leaderboard.

  Must be the same issue as in this bug report:

  github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/5155

  Ashley says it's by design, but it feels like a bug to me.

  I don't understand your question to be honest. Do you have a problem with running the game in preview? Or does the game crash when you run the exported app (APK) on your phone?

  If the APK crashes, you need to get the Logcat log! Not the Chrome log from the preview.

  You mean when you install the game on Android phone and click its icon - it launches and immediately closes (crashes)?

  You need to collect logcat logs.

  You can right-click the family, click "Select all in project" and then turn the effect off. This will update all family instances on all layouts.
