  Why are you using such an old version?

  My example was saved in the last official release..

  I see a whole lot of inefficient programming, repeating the same conditions.

  For instance:

  The last three events all start with for each damagesource. Wouldn't it be easier to combine these?

  no you write in the first one:

  distance(enemy.x,enemy.y,player.x,enemy.y)

  and in the second one the number of pixels distance you'd like.

  I used enemy.y because I thought you only wanted the horizontal distance (x)

  If you use player.y it will be like a circle arond the enemy.

  Changed the capx to use timer behaviour and had it start at first touch instead of on touch end, you should play with the timer value to fit your needs.

  Double touch with Timer behaviour

  If you say "It's not very good" all the time, no one's going to watch it. I liked the video, except the intro was a little bit too "radio-ish" for me. Act natural, the tutorial was good.

  Haha, point taken!

  I will eventually get more comfortable making these things.

  When I'm actually talking about the stuff I know it's much easier and I'm less concerned about how I come across.

  This first one was a bit confronting, so that's why I feel like it could be a lot better.

  It's real uncertainty and not meant as a way for fishing for compliments, but I can understand it bothers people.

  Ehm Perlin, wouldn't you have to have touched the device before being able to release it?

  If you want a certain timeframe in which double-touching is possible using the timer behaviour could be a possibility, but maybe I'm not understanding your issue..

  For people interested in how to do it in Construct2

  There are many different methods in many different games.

  Using touch angles, touch positions, etcetera.

  Finding the best way to do it in your game can be hard, for if you don't make use of the angles of the device and device motion it will allways involve touching the screen and therefor making part of it harder to see.

  Haha..

  My English accent doesn't make any sense and usually when I tell people I'm Dutch they make this "hmm, now I understand"-kinda face..

  So I thought I might aswell explain why they can't place the accent..

  Apologizing for being Dutch wasn't necessary, but always makes me smile..

  If both objects have the same amount of animationframes you could just use:

  Object1 on dropped

  system compare two values :

  object1.animationframe = object2.animationframe

  • object1 set position : object2.x,object2.y

  I know it's pretty bad, but I had to upload it to make sure I will continue making tutorials of which I hope they will at least make sense.

  I now understand why it's hard to create interesting and informative tutorials, so lesson learned.

  You have to start somewhere right?
