  What exactly do you want to know?

  The text file is loaded into a string variable. Then a random line is extracted using tokenat and tokencount expression, you can find them in the documentation.

  Can you show a picture or a video of the movement you are trying to make?

  MoveTo is used to move in a straight line. If you need to move in a circle, you should try Orbit or Rotate behaviors.

  Here is demo showing a combination of MoveTo+Orbit

  Yeah, we've all done this.. It would be nice if the editor displayed a warning when you enter text with quotation marks in such fields. And also when you specify a default value for string variables.

  Interactivity setting on layers is only for mouse and touch events.

  When a keyboard key is pressed, you need to pick the right note instance based on the current difficulty - either by layer name or by instance variable on the note. I suggest doing this with an instance variable, it will be easier.

  EDIT: Wow, this is my 10000th post! :)

  Do you press the notes with mouse/touch?

  Is there anything wrong with this method?

  curFrame variable is local, it's reset to default value at the end of each tick. You need to set it as Static - then it will remember its value.

  Check your other local variables, you may need to make some of them static as well.

  There is a new feature in C3 - interactive layers.

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/project-primitives/layers

  You can set "interactive" property only for the layer with the current difficulty, then all other non-interactive layers will not receive mouse events.

  This will be really difficult to make a system which will parse object names and instance variables in JSON strings. What I usually do is I add simple tags, for example: "Hey, (player_name)! If you bring me the magic scroll I will give you (coins) gold coins!"

  And then before showing this line on the screen I replace tags with real values.

  Set text to replace(text, "(playerName)", Player.Name)
  Set text to replace(text, "(coins)", NPC.questPrize)

  Use "Platform Set Vector X" action. On collision with the wall, if the wall is to the right from the player (compare wall.x), then apply a negative vector, for example -100. If the wall is to the left, apply positive vector +100.

  I think falling back to the default instance is reasonable if the given template does not exist.

  Template name will often be generated from some expression and I would prefer if nothing is created when such template doesn't exist. In many cases this will be less harmful than creating the wrong default instance. Here is an example:

  Maybe as an alternative solution you could add some method to check if a template with the given name exists? Say, a System condition. And also an expression to get the template name of the created instance? (so that I could immediately destroy it if it's wrong)
