  In the 8-direction behaviour settings set default controls to NO.

  Add keyboard to layout.

  Add event:

  on keyboard W pressed - simulate 8 direction - up

  tulamide,

  You're right, slight miscalculation there.

  Was aiming for your last one.

  Added the 1 because I thought the 0 was unwanted, your explanation is much clearer.

  set number to floor(random(1,24))*32

  that just leaves out 1, I guess..

  Have you checked your collision polygon? Did you try changing it in your physics behaviour settings?

  You could always apply force or impulse at collision if needed.

  create object: x - sprite.imagepointX(1)

                 y - sprite.imagepointY(1)

  where 1 is the number of the imagepoint

  I don't know how you have your events and/or variables set up, so I really can't answer that question without guessing.

  To make it easier just do a system compare two values: variable > 0

  Add a condition: if variable is > 0

  So 1 is only subtracted if the variable is above 0

  Easiest way would be to install the most used third-party plugin MoveTo.

  All you'd have to do is to compare touch.y with sprite.y and set MoveTo destination accordingly.

  Another way is to cretae a custom movement that does exactly the same.

  And yet another way is to create this movement in events by using lerp and dt to make the transition between SpriteOldY and SpriteDestination visible.

  Bullet on creation - player is mirrored - set angle

  This should make sure the angle is only set once and not every tick.

  Copying a lot of events is (almost?) never necessary. it can be avoided by using families, functions and/or instances of the same sprite.

  Things to read up on:

  • functions
  • families

  and to make it look less static you could choose to use one of the movement behaviour on drop.

  player is in the middle because of the scrollto behaviour. It should be easy enough to fix. create a camera sprite or use the system scroll and set it to player.y + 200 or something similar. play around with the settings, make mistakes, correct them and learn.

  set the layout to unbounded scrolling and it should work.

  I don't think there's a way to detect if a QWERTY or an azerty keyboard is being used. You will have to let the player choose keyboard type and change your events to that, if position of the keyboard keys is more important than the letters.

  Either use the scrollto behaviour or the system scrollto action.
