  Thanks! I tried doing this but it didn't seem to work, the function is in the audio event sheet, whereas this is in the menu event sheet.

  

  Is this a problem with the scripting or something else?

  Is there a way to call functions by string WITHOUT mapping? I'd need to map 100+ things otherwise.

  I want to be able to detect the distance I am from a specific tile from my tileset. For example if it was tile 5, I want an action to only happen when I'm 64 pixels from tile 5.

  Nvm figured it out, I just accidentally had my playable character set as the light around it, with the player being pinned. However the light around my player hits the walls, resulting in it being inside them.

  I feel like I've done it before, and I feel like someone's probably asked before but because constructs search is a roll of the dice, here's my question.

  How do I collide with tile A, but not the other tiles?

  I read the documentation on it but I still couldn't figure it out. Disabling collisions would still have collisions anyway, and removing solid but leaving collisions would not have collisions.

  Red will never = blue due to the random weight i have added to it, I think i was doing it wrong so I changed it to this but im still getting the same issues

  

  I believe atm the way it should be working is the first placeholder should have no neighbours, as such itll get the value of 0.5 under whichever the random is

  Then the next one, being the firsts neighbour, will be the same color, due to the fact they will never not have a different neighbour it should be the same the whole way. Ofc thats not what I want eventually but I'll change the weighted value to 1.5 at some point. Just want to make sure this is working.

  

  Note the UID order is like this, thats also the order this is using to determine what order the placeholders are changed in.

  Sorry if thats a bit confusing, heres the file if it helps you help me.

  For distanced i'd need to put it in a for loop right? So i can check how many are next to it?

  I want to check how many neighbouring tiles are each tile and then add a value depending, this is the current way I'm doing it but I'm certain there is a better way.

  What would you recommend other then platformer? Tile wouldn't work in this situation.
