  I believe he meant create multiple sprites (boxes) with their own collisions pinned to the character. Enabling/disabling when needed.

  Storing the rgb#s in an array would work as well, just replace the random().

  (For the problem you're having above, did you try str(array.at(x,y)) , when reading the value?

  Used a random animated sprite, just to make sure the scaling was correct instead of your pasted image.

  How about exporting out the sprite animations into layers,then pinning them together. So body, feathers, wings and misc are each a seperate game object pinned/grouped together on top of one another.

  Then each could have its own color effect.

  Oh wow, it didn't occur to me that Arial wouldn't be identical on phone chrome / vs pc chrome. Adding it to the font folder has fixed the issues! Thank you so much!

  (Couldn't do the bbcode option as I'm already using it to do actual highlights for audio syncing, these sprite highlights are for answering questions.)

  Saved me a huge headache.

  Hopefully this isn't a bug, and I'm just missing something!

  A sprite object is placed to "highlight" behind a text object, with an empty event sheet. When remote previewing on a phone, or html5 export, the location of the highlighted sprite is off. From testing it doesn't seem like the text object's font size or object size is changing nor is the highlight moving - so I'm a bit stumped as to why it's not in the correct position anymore! (Using letterbox scale.)

  When previewing on the pc and resizing the window this problem does not occur. The different sizes of windows does not recreate this problem.

  Thanks!

  I've attached an example of my issue:

  Something like this? Hope it helps!

  Just uses the bullet behavior (with bounce) and solid.

  It's too early or something for my brain to work, but does checking the loopindex of a "for each array element" always return zero?

  My first thought is maybe making the hitboxes smaller on each/either?

  Make sure your g_level is a global variable, and starts at whatever number your first level ends with. (ex. Level_0)

  In the properties window, or if you meant via events under System Actions.

  I take it you mean Ammo? Sorry for the confusion.

  My first thought is to...

  ammo = 100

  bullet5 = 0

  if bullet5 >= 5

  ---> - 1 from ammo

  ---> set bullet5 to 0

  on [shoot button] pressed

  repeat 5 times

  ---> create object (bullet)

  ---> set angle (bullet) to "gun.angle + random(-15,15)

  ---> +1 to bullet5

  Just remove the repeat 5 times, move the actions under the button press event directly.
