  Thanks for the prompt reply, I will go look at that right now and report back in.

  Cheers.

  I've hunted the forums, but not found what I need.

  I have a Tree sprite made of 10 sprites. A bit like this...

  F=Foliage, T=Trunk and B=base.

  FFFF

  FFFF

  FFF

  T

  B

  The plan is, when I collide with the Trunk, the foliage shakes.

  The Foliage sprites are in a family called 'TopOfTree'

  When the player collides with the 'T'runk, I enable the Sine behaviours that are in the 'TopOfTree' family.

  How can I achieve this?

  I did add the base and trunk to the family, but only the base shakes (which shouldn't shake at all). I know I need to select all the other sprites that make up the family but I can't figure out how to.

  Do you have an Android device to test it on? If not, I'm sure some of us can run your APK and let you know.

  I can't actually answer the question but usually I'd give it a whirl and see what happens.

  I would have a third column that marks the correct answer.

  Eg:

  Pets:Cat:0

  Pets:Dog:1

  Pets:Rabbit:0

  Pets:Mouse:0

  Then you can check to see if it's correct. It would also allow you to have more than one correct answer if you wanted to.

  How about this as an option?

  Can you not use the action Set Z elevation?

  sprite > Set Z elevation VALUE

  You will need to present the file being viewed as a variable from your PHP script.

  Then this thread should hopefully get you the rest of the way...

  Depending on how you want to 'click it'...

  Mouse> On Object Clicked...

  or

  Touch> On tap object

  If you don't want to see the button, set 'Initially Visible' to off, it will still work you just can't see it.

  (Obviously to test it you will need 2 browser windows (or 2 PC's))

  You should be able to set a ScrollTo, (or camera system) to the PEER if you're the peer, or HOST if you are the host.

  So for example, if moving a camera.

  Player. PeerID = Multiplayer.MyID

  System.Every Tick

  Set CamX to Player X

  Set CamY to Player Y

  So, for your player, set the camera on it.

  No.

  You can only use C2 if you buy it (or use limited version)

  If you want it when he can see you, the line of sight (LOS) behaviour can help you out.

  I'm working on a multiplayer app.

  2 Questions...

  First, is there an easy way (or any) to run as a peer in debug mode? Short of outputting text values :)

  Second,

  In order to test it I have to do the following:

  1) Run Remote Preview and copy the URL

  2) Open a web browser and paste the URL

  3) Open another web browser and paste the URL again.

  4) Log in to window1 as P1 (I don't have a problem with this one)

  5) Log in to window2 as P2 (I don't have a problem with this one)

  6) Test away.

  It just seems soooo tedious every time I want to test it to keep opening the windows. I can't really keep the two test windows open as it slows things down too much.

  I could use another PC if I had to.

  I just wondered if there was a better way that I'm not aware of.

  FWIW: I run on a Mac, and I use Chrome for C3, open a Safari for window test 1 and a Firefox for Window test 2.

  locohost - I literally ran into the same thing with my recent post too

  here> construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/how-long-does-a-pick-sprite-la-142303

  I too have been programming for many, many, many years and tend to function'ise as much as possible to reuse code and prevent repetition. That was also my downfall :)

  So, want to let you know you weren't alone on this one.
