  Dropbox dropped the support of the "Public folder" so the previous link won't work anymore.

  Here's another link, with a better formula for bullet angle calculation.

  Here's with a loop. Don't crank up the number of bullets too high otherwise it'll lag to a crawl. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz">

  I don't think a regex is the solution. You should probably do something like this :

  You can't really switch those out. wallclocktime is incremented by dt every tick, the easiest thing would probably be using this dt directly.

  Like this :

  

  In this image, animTick is incremeted 4 times per second.

  Yep, nice catch — A local variable get reseted to its default value every tick. Making it static will make it work as if the variable was global, but retain its local scope.

  Also, Zebbi, keep in mind this system is not framerate independent, I believed you should use wallclocktime instead of tickcount to increment animTick.

  If everything is like in my capx, I don't see why it wouldn't work. However, without your capx it's hard to really see what's going on.

  You must use "compare two values" and compare "value = 1 | value = 2" with 1 (true).

  You're talking about collision cells. Here's the blog post Ashley did when he introduced this feature.

  https://www.scirra.com/blog/ashley/6/co ... on-in-r155

  However, I'm not sure if there is any reliable way to manipulate the collision cells.

  Oops! I needed to override the "setTileAt" function from the tilemap plugin so EasyStar could track changes made to the tiles. However I mixed up height and width somewhere along the way on the array "overflow" check. Once you reach a width greater than the height, it won't do anything (and vice versa).

  Try redownloading the latest file, it should work now.

  Containers do not work with families. However, you can manually link objects together using a common variable value for instance (like linking the detectors with the sprite UID). You will need to explicitely pick objects though.

  white-space: pre might be a better alternative, otherwise some browser might not preserve the white-space info.

  You could add a "for each enemy" as your last condition and add a "stop loop" action. Only one enemy would then be destroyed.

  Perhaps you should use the inverse logic, although it could be a bit slower.

  Not overlapping object A and Not overlapping object B -> Set to False

  Else -> Set to True

  -The text tags / commands and queue are set up using regex and dictionaries. I learned this from the Dialogue System Template on the Scirra store, but added a lot to it to give individual characters and words their own behaviors and effects.

  Glad to know my hacky way of doing things has learned you something —

  Or in this particular case, you could create a "Roads" family have your event go like "when player collides with Roads".
