  This is a very popular question here, try googling "random not overlapping site:construct.net"

  Here is the easiest way to do this:

  Replacing magic numbers in the code with constant variables is an improvement, but you are still hard-coding UIDs, which is bad.

  It's better to use another instance variable like id or button_type.

  The result will be the same. You can also simply set scroll X to player.X

  Set layout scroll is often used when you want to do smooth scrolling, lepring, for example: set scroll x to lerp(scrollx, player.x, dt*4)

  Now you are adding 0 (zero) to the ammo, why?!

  see this example, you can open it in Conctruct 3:

  I've been using dropbox for free for many years. There are lots of other free file sharing services.

  Why do you have param(8)?? It should be param(0) for the first parameter, param(1) for second parameter etc. 0 is the index of the parameter, not the number of bullets.

  Also, I have no idea what's happening when you fire a bullet, this isn't in your screenshot. In theory you should check if ammo>0 and subtract 1 from ammo.

  Dropbox is free if you don't need much space. Google drive should also work.

  The triggered event "obj_bullet_yellow On created" is placed as a sub-event under "Every 0.9 seconds". This is wrong. Move it to top-level and it will work.

  Also, you code is a bit messy.. You have Enemy family, but you are not utilizing it. You have lots of duplicate events for each enemy type - this is exactly what families are supposed to optimize.

  Move LoS, Pathfinding and other behaviors to the family, and you'll be able to decrease the amount of code significantly. See this link:

  scirra.com/tutorials/535/how-to-upgrade-an-object-to-a-family

  You can add another copy of Enemy family to use it in events like Enemy is overlapping EnemyCopy. You can use "Create by name" action to use in events like Enemy has LoS to player : System create "obj_bullet_"&Enemy.Type and so on..

  I don't know.. There are lots of ways you can count those dino instances that are moving out. You can use "LiteTween on end" event and set some instance variable on dino. (for example set finished=1). Then pick all instances with finished=1 and use dino.pickedcount expression

  Or use a global variable as a counter. Or pick dino sprites by comparing x>layoutwidth and again use dino.pickedcount to count them..

  You are right, there seems to be no direct way to load image to canvas. But you can use a sprite - load SavedImageURL string into the sprite. Then paste the sprite onto canvas. I tested this and it works.
