  • Because the timer behaviour should be on the enemy, not the object that spawns. Then you can use it to pick the enemy properly in event 7 where timer is not running.

  • Difficult without the project file but you I would stop the function from being called every tick, for example by the time you start the 0.2 second timer the function has been called for the same enemy hundreds of times and it queues up. I would get rid of the attack variable and the 0.5 seconds, use the timer itself to lock out the function call event into a run once only when the timer is not running.

  • These are standard events and should work if they are true. Check if the variable value is 1.

  • It doesn't work how? Better to post a screenshot of the events so we can understand what you are doing. Because events run top to bottom it's possibly doing the first event then the second event very quickly together.

  • Unticked yes

  • You probably exported it while it was in test mode, try again

  • You can choose the starting layout in the project properties

  • There was never an image on that post from what I saw. You wouldn't need to use create by object name there as described since you are picking one object type and spawning one object type, try using spawn as it will resolve the more general issue with instance picking.

  • OP you using system create? I think that doesn't work well with picking, I used spawn.

  • No that shouldn't be the case, a family is treated as an object type and it should run through all instances of family when checking the animation frame. If it creates one object total then that means only one instance is true. I prefer to do it a bit differently so an event is not running every tick but what you describe should still work

  • It works... until multiple CharacterAnimation family members are on that certain frame of that certain animation at the same time. Then, still only 1 object is created.

    Do you mean 1 object total or per instance? If you mean total I'm not sure how that would happen, it should pick all instances of family. This should work and even if they hit the frame at the same time it shouldn't be an issue.

  • You need to block out the idle animation as a start, so you add conditions to that event such as 'disappearing' animation is NOT playing. That is the main one that overrides the animations from playing because it is easy to not press anything, however moving while the animation is playing would also cut it out so you can add the same conditions to the movement animation events.

  • I imagine it would only spawn one in this case. Better to share the events or the project file so someone can have a look.

  • Lets see the events. Did you use 'button is down'? Better to use on click as it is trigger event and runs once.

  • How far did you get with ads? You can make a variable of 180 and subtract 1 every second, or user a timer. Then show ad when it hits 0 and set to 180 again. Sounds like a terrible idea though.
