  ah i see how that works now

  i have it working with 2 items like this

  For each X element : Set text to Array.At(0,0)&Array.At(0,1)&newline&Array.At(1,0)&Array.At(1,1)

  Is there a way i can set this on a loop or something so it will only show whats there, as right now this way it shows [ 00 ] for the item(s) that are yet to be added

  Thanks

  I am trying to set text to array data i have looked at other similar posts but none of the information in them helped me with my problem,

  I am adding data to an array, X is being the name if the item and Y is being the quantity of the item.

  I want it to display as

  First item: First item amount

  Second Item: Second Item Amount

  For each xy element : Set text to Array.Curvalue just gives me the the amount of the first item and not the rest

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

  Hey man thanks for the reply,

  This did not work either seems to just move the one closest to the edge and the others stay still until the first one has reached the end.

  I tried what you said multiple ways and with/without 'or'

  I also tried [pick nearest to (self.x+self.width/2) which also didn't work Heres a capx if its any help dropbox.com/s/nojwo9y9fx2jrd4/conveyor2.capx?dl=0

  I am trying to make items move along a conveyor belt and stop and queue up behind each other when they have no where to go,

  It mostly works with

  item is over lapping belt right
  item is overlapping item(Inverted)
  
  set x to self.x+1[/code:27ssxl4x]
  
  This works fine until they need to move again and as they are overlapping the will not move.
  
  i have tried using distance(item.x,item.y,item.x,item.y) < 10 then move but i think i need some sort of picking instance here as it compares itself to itself i assume.
  
  any offer on an efficient way to do this, i have browsed the forums and tried other ways such as line of sight but still no luck
