  I might be a bit late to the party but I took a look at christina 's capx and changed things around a bit. The pathfinder array now act as a queue of cells that are traversed. As long as new cells are found (neighbours = "P"), the loop will run. Note that when I queue a cell, I change its value to "-1" so it's not traversed more than once.

  It has nothing to do with family. It's the classic case of "can't pick a newly created object until the next top-level event".

  Since the "Pick by UID" is not affected by this, you could workaround this issue by storing the button UIDs in an array and doing a For Each Array Element -> Pick Button Family by UID. You'd need to clear the array at the end of each tick.

  100 - (the equation) should work.

  Still need more details to be able to really understand what could go wrong.

  The timer behavior is indeed per instance. You should also always keep in mind that timer triggers can occur for multiple instances in the same tick, so you might need a "for each" for your bullet spawning routine.

  You have two options. You can use a "File chooser", or if you deploy with NW.js, you can use its file dialog actions/expressions.

  You need to have a system of waypoints, and count how many of them each car passed. When two or more cars are at the same waypoint, you then rank them according to their distance to the next waypoint.

  The goal is a condition that is true on ALL instances. Which means a PickedCount (filtered SOL) equals to Count (unfiltered SOL).

  Well if I take his example of animation frame, he wants an event that will check if all 24 instances have the same one, then do something to those 24 instances. My previous example will do just that. However, if he wants actions that affect all instances no matter how many instances were picked previously, a simple "pick all" will work wonder.

  You simply need to add a "compare two values" under you other conditions with something like this.

  Object.PickedCount = Object.Count[/code:1qaha72s]
  The event will run only if all instances satisfy whatever conditions you want.

  "Object A is overlapped by Object B" is the same as "Object B is overlapping Object A".

  That's string formatting. Unfortunately, C2 doesn't offer much in that department, you need to be clever and come up with something. If you want to always display a number with 2 decimals, one way to do that would be this expression :

  floor(value) & "." & zeropad(round((value * 100) % 100), 2)[/code:yq0rk9s4]

  matriax That's unfortunately impossible to make a generic approach to creating specific objects from a family... unless you use a plugin like nickname from rexrainbow.

  I made this hacky thingy some time ago, maybe it could be of use to you if you want to circumvent form controls limitations.

  Just updated the capx... But shinkan's shader looks amazing and require no events whatsoever. Seems like the choice is easy.

  AJAX.LastData inside the "on completed" trigger is the way to go.
