  It's worth having a read through this tutorial as well to get an idea of how all the different browser modes work:

  Hi Youtopize

  I'm not sure off the top of my head what the solution is - could you link to the json that the converter creates? It might just be a syntax issue.

  Congrats2u

  Another way is to use a sub event with a local variable and this chain of actions:

  Set localVar to globalVarA

  Reset all global variables

  Set globalVarA to localVar

  Hi Triforce

  Here's a demo:

  https://www.dropbox.com/s/tdvvif83s60jo ... .capx?dl=0

  I've bunged a bunch of variables on the character and run a check to see which direction its facing. You can fiddle around with the jump velocities to find something to your liking.

  Hope it helps <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  I've updated the demo to be more like the game you referenced - haven't heard of it before! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  You can modify the speed of the avatar, flip the avatar in/out, randomise the spike direction and step up/down circle rotation, all at runtime.

  Change the global variable spikeTotal to modify number of spikes, circleRadius to modify the circle size and OriginX,OriginY to change the starting position.

  I've not included collision or the fade effect on the spikes.

  Hi ramyaswetha,

  Spawn the spike at the centre of the circle.

  On spike created, apply a random rotation using the set angle random(360), then move the spike the circle radius using the move forward action.

  matriax I've updated the capx:

  https://www.dropbox.com/s/4q7ie4zgr9l0o ... .capx?dl=0

  I've reduced the player's cone to 60 degrees and put in a check for his line of site so only stuff he's looking at is shown.

  I also added solid to the block's behaviour and changed their LOS check to solid, in case the custom setting was causing any issues.

  The reason for the odd block showing visible behind other blocks is because the LOS can peek through blocks that are adjacent to each other - if you overlap them the problem disappears.

  I managed to get it working by giving the box the line of sight behaviour and adding box to it as an obstacle. I then reversed the condition so that the box checks line of sight to the player:

  blackhornet Very true! Oops! Pay me no attention, MushroomKingdomr, and go for R0J0hound 's super elegant solution.

  You were nearly there with what you had:

  (var/abs(var))

  gives you 1 for positive nos and -1 for negative

  Run the game in debug mode:

  1) Watch the object count and see if it starts to climb - if so you know that you either have a loop somewhere that's churning out objects, or you're not destroying objects.

  2) Check the profile tab and look at the percentages for the different systems - is there anything that's using a crazy amount of CPU time? If so that's most likely the culprit.

  3) If neither of these tests identify the problem go back to your code and start disabling events one by one of the latest stuff you added in and run it - don't worry if it breaks other things - just see if it fixes the slowdown; this should help you zone in on the offending events.

  Yes, I totally get that, but if you want to ensure that the order of picking is truly random then using int will more often push the first and last number to the back of the sequence; using floor should eliminate that bias.
