  You should be able to do this using Physics behavior, limiting it might be a little tricky though. Otherwise try the IK solver: http://www.scirra.com/forum/plugin-ik-solver-2_topic37671.html

  onion, this plugin should still work fine in Construct Classic. Not sure about the example though.

  Grid movement is do-able with RTS object, not sure how to advance just one grid position at a time just yet though.

  "Go to layout" and then "random(n) + a" where n is the number of layouts to select from after starting point a.

  For more direct layout selection you can use an array like R0j0hound did for sprite spawning like so:

  {"man", "woman", "monster", "kid"}@(random(4)+1)

  I think the rotate event must be yes for the gun to shoot towards the player, I have a feeling it will shoot the player if they are on the right side of the turret (or basically in direct line of fire).

  You might want to leave rotate on for the behavior, and then rotate off in animation settings.

  Alucard, ADenton, the Pathfinding object can be very intensive if used too often or by too many objects at once.

  Here's a method of pathfinding by sprites: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4714446/Pathfinding.cap

  And a method of determining line of sight to a player I created to avoid crashes caused by the Line Of Sight behavior in I Had Hope: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4714446/CustomLOS.cap

  A while back Quazi made a "blob gear" cap file which you may find does something similar (combining objects to look as one fluid). I think this would not affect the actual shadows made, so you can instead make the light object invisible and use sprites to represent the lighting.

  Anyway, here's the cap: Blob Gears

  Ah I'm sorry, the trigger once should be a sub-event of each to avoid messing with the Else, and then move the actions for each event down into the sub-event.

  So it'd be like this:

  [Event 1] [NO ACTIONS]

  +[Subevent trigger once] [ACTIONS]

  [ELSE] [NO ACTIONS]

  +[Subevent trigger once] [ACTIONS]

  Guisouro, adding another condition to the top event with System condition "Trigger Once While True" should fix that, same with the Else event.

  This way it will only play the animation once until the situation changes

  If you're placing static things over the video then perhaps the simplest method is to edit the video itself <img src="smileys/smiley6.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Replace on collision with "is overlapping", and then you can put an else event below to close the gate, hope that helps!
