  In C2 you can't create objects by string name, so the only option is to use just one sprite with many frames/animations, or do a bunch of events like if id = 1 pick sprite1, if id = 2 pick sprite2 [...]

  In Construct 3 you can create objects by name.

  Instead of saving each property (x, y, angle, width etc..) separately in the array, I suggest saving the entire object state as JSON string. So, for example you put Leg.AsJSON into the array. Then when needed you create Leg sprite and do "Leg Set from JSON".

  .

  Also, take a look at Spriter addon:

  This will never work, you are wasting your time.

  I also recommend MoveTo addon, it's great and you can move objects much easier with it.

  If you want to do it without addons, you can do this:

  You can try the same principle as in my capx - move the physics object towards target position with Set Velocity, Apply Force or Apply Impulse actions. The important thing is not to use Physics and Drag&Drop (or other behaviors) in the same object.

  Here is another example, the code is pretty messy, you basically only need event #13:

  From the official manual:

  Therefore it is highly recommended to control Physics objects entirely via the Physics behavior (by setting forces, impulses, torques etc.), rather than trying to manipulate objects by Set position, Set angle etc.

  In short, don't mix Physics with non-physics behaviors and actions! You can control a different (invisible) sprite with Drag&Drop behavior, and move your Physics sprite to its position with physics action. Here is a demo:

  You can not use html tags in Textbox! It has nothing to do with global variables. You can not change color for one word, or make it bold or italic. It is simply not possible!

  You need to use Text object + BBCode addon.

  If you want to save files directly to disk, you need to download and install the C3 Desktop Build.

  If you have a web-server, you can set up a MySQL database and send data to it. It's easier than it sounds, and there are plenty of tutorials, for example:

  construct.net/en/tutorials/creating-your-own-leaderboard-highscores-easy-and-free-php-mysql-1032

  Alternatively, you can use an external service like Firebase or Gamesparks. Gamesparks provides C2 plugin and demo project, last time I checked it was quite easy to implement.

  Add skin and square to the same container. Each skin will be created and destroyed automatically with its own square.

  As for your first issue, you are doing something wrong. When you create a sprite instance, it's picked in this event. So if you need it to Flash or apply some other effects, you need to do in the same event or sub-events. If this doesn't help, please post your code or project.

  You can find MoveTo behavior ported for C3 in this post:

  Read my previous comment again please. Don't use "Add target"! Use "Acquire target" action.
