  thanks :)

  was hoping to avoid doing things like that.. but i guess it will just have to be.. seems strange that its not already there.. but then, i guess they have a big todo list..

  I did hunt for this.. does such a method exist?..

  basically, i have turrets and want to store the string or some ref value that represents the type of bullet it will spawn..

  I could then have something like Turret.Spawn(Turret.BulletType)

  thanks :)

  Pin is a behaviour - add this to your player.

  Rotate is another behaviour - create another sprite (acting as an origin) + add this behaviour.

  in your event sheet add an event - System->on start of layout..

  as the action for that event - pin player to origin sprite..

  run it, and your player is now rotating with the origin sprite, as the origin sprite rotates..

  pin your player to an object - the object can be rotated, and the player will now rotate around that object - its a simple solution, might not be perfect ;)

  Can create a condition that compares badguy.health <= 0 this will select only those badguys that need to be destroyed.. then you can spawn a death_anim sprite at its position + destroy the badguy as actions..

  might not be optimal - but you could use the family filtering above

  "badguy.health <=0" destroy badguy

  then for each specific badguy type in the family.. create onDestroyed

  conditions..

  "super_evil on destroyed" spawn super_evil_death_sprite

  any help?

  Im trying to limit the rotation of the turret to a given arc, say +- 60 degrees (set with an instance var). Additionally, the turret is pinned to another object that can also move and rotate freely. Im still not comfortable with C2, so any help would be greatly appreciated :)
