  My bug things arent eating. Also if anyone feels generous enough to tidy the code a little I'd greatly appreciate it.

  This isnt really a how do I but idk where else to put it. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can fix this. The game works fine on it's own (well it has some glitches, thus why I was using the debugger) but once i open the debugger it crashes at exactly 2.5165686666766804 seconds. I dont see what would cause this crash. Any ideas as to what it is? I've tested it out on mobile and it crashes. Just tested it on PC and it crashes as well.

  So basically i want to be able to send a message (like an in game chat ig) would this require the multiplayer plug in? It would only need to send 1 message a day and doesnt need a username or anything.

  I ended up getting it working using this.

  replace(Cards.ObjectTypeName,"card","")

  I probably wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys.

  Okay so that works. Now is there anyway to subtract a word from a string? It says I can't subtract string on string. I want to remove the word card from the variable

  Not UID. I'm looking to choose a card (let's say CatCard) and then have the game spawn the correspondent animal (so the cat) I was thinking I could do something like "Set variable "animaltospawn" to card.name -Card (as the cards are called stuff like dogcard and catcard) and then spawn by name animaltospawn.

  SPAWNING FIX

  Under system "Spawn object by name"

  spawn object (Variable name)

  So let's say your variable (let's call it "fruit") has could be one of 3 different things. Apple, banana, or grape.

  spawn object fruit

  would spawn whichever one was currently selected (grape, apple, banana whatever. Please note if the variables name doesn't match an object it just won't spawn anything)

  ANIMATING HELP

  for your animating issue I have 2 solutions.

  1. To have the animations set as the default under the actual animater

  2. Do "when object is created OR on start of layout. Set object to animation" (replace animation with your animation name and object with your object name)

  I have a family called cards and it randomly chooses one of the "cards" I then want to store the chosen card in a variable called "Chosen card". I've wanted to do stuff like this in the past but I can't find an expression for a specific object's name.
