  Hmmm, why not make a sprite for the ropes (and have it animate whenever you need.) Each side of the ring would have it's own independent sprite. Take a look at Fire Pro Wrestling for the GBA.

  Also, maybe take a look at other old wrestling games on the GB,GBC, NES and see what they did. Anyway, hope that helps. Good luck!

  Oh wow. Haha, that was a simple fix. Thank you!

  Ok, would there be another way to accomplish a small wait/pause for x seconds in a function? I'd like to play a small break before and after each level, where the high score is tallied up and you see a short cutscene(still images.)

  If you do some searching on the forums, you can probably find some decent example caps to get you started. Game design and coding is not easy but practice makes perfect. If you're making you first game by yourself or with few people, keep the scale small.

  Here are some examples of 2D beat-em-up I've found and saved. They're really just a way to help you get started. Much work is ahead of you if you want to actually create a 2D beat 'em up.

  Hey all! Ok, so I'm trying to make a space invaders clone and an important function freezes after I've restarted the layout/gone back to the same layout. I've done some trouble-shooting and I think it's freezing because of a wait in the function. I found more info on this but I'm unsure how to implement the work around the tutorial mentions.

  construct.net/en/tutorials/system-wait-action-63

  Here's a capx and pic of the code with the problem (I think.)

  dropbox.com/s/zzxr5yztn63wm8g/layoutRestart.capx

  

  Essentially, I want the player to be able to pause the game while playing and be able to press the "Home" button to go back to the main menu. I can do this but if I try to replay level one , the game function freezes. How could I properly code this so it doesn't freeze and is reusable for multiple levels.

  If you search the forums, you'll find lots of examples. Here are some I've collected.

  Hey all. I know there's the expression random(0,3) to select a random numbers. But I'm not sure how to do the same with text variables? Is that even possible? I'm trying to make an enemy spawn and moveto either location 1, 2 or 3 essentially. I'm using Rex moveto plugin for this. Thanks for checking out this post. Here's the code!

  Hey folks! I have no idea what happened. Yesterday, I was able to test my game over lan. Now I can't. I'm getting these new error messages. I tried other capx files and they won't work over lan either.

  

  

  I reset the options and I get another error message. Check below. Can anyone help me troubleshoot? I'm gonna try importing my game to another computer or uninstalling/reinstalling.

  Hey, I got it! Thank you! I didn't need a function, like you said. I removed it and adjusted a bit of the code. Here it is and a gif for posterity's sake.

  Hey all! I'm trying to create a simple space invaders game and I've run into some issues. Only one enemy sprite follows the "looping path" I created. Here's a gif and the code.

  imgur.com/iHDF0a6

  

  Essentially, the bullet speed/angle changes when the enemy collides with a trigger sprite. A form of this code already works with two waves of enemies but not it's not working here. I know it has something to do with "picking" objects and object instances. This is a topic I've always had some difficulty grasping. Could anyone help me out?

  One more thing, I'm having trouble muting sound fx and music individually. I can mute it all at once but I'd like to give players to option to mute sfx, the music or both. I found a tutorial using WebStorage to key sfx and toggle them on/off but couldn't get it to work. Music plays at start of layout and then this.

  

  I'd appreciate any advice and thanks for looking! Hope it all makes sense!
