  Hi,

  I'm trying to use a variable to count the number of instances created from a single sprite. So I have a single sprite being created every tick in random locations. I try and add 1 to the variable attached to the same sprite (every tick, create object in random location, add 1 to the variable) however its only ever adds 1 to the variable count. I assume it's because the system only sees it as 1 object with multiple UIDs if this is the case how to do I get the variable to increase based on qty created

  Thanks in advance. ;)

  Hi all,

  First time post so apologies if this is in the wrong location, I am currently a c2 r259 64bit (steam) user.

  I have noticed when using the 8-direction behaviour on a sprite and using debug mode the behaviour does not work as in no movement at all when pressing the keyboard keys. It does work when running the game normally I use chrome and NWJS I have tried in both Chrome and NWJS and still cant get the behaviour to work. I tested the function in C3 and it does work in debug mode.

  I have not reported this as a bug as maybe its not meant to work in c2 or i'm doing something wrong. I have not uploaded my capx as this can be replicated using the 8 Direction 1 (Simple Movement) capx that comes within the c2 tutorials.

  any advice or help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Newt
