  Hi all,

  Is it be better for performance to make my .png transparent or add the transparency within construct or is there no difference?

  works perfectly, thanks so much for your time and advice. I'm going to go through it now and implement booleans as they seem far more straight forward. thanks again much appreciated!

  It probably is

  I just need to increase my understanding of how loops work.

  So, in the move_to_water function, when I call collecting_water I should add loopindex as a parameter?

  Then do I need to use this at "worker load_Water < worker.load_Water_max" for the wait?

  thanks for your reply and it sounds like it might work but, unfortunately I don't know how to pass the loopindex as a parameter.

  I'm attempting to create some basic AI using a state machine, I'm fairly new to construct so please bear with me. I have it working up to the point where I need to increase a worker's load_Water value by 1 and subtract 1 from area.water every 1 sec. It increases instantly, i guess because it's looping but, at this stage my understanding of how to pause a loop for a certain amount of time is pretty foggy.

  Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

  I'll try and knock up a capx if the image doesn't help.

  I see the problem now, the blokes origin is in the center so anything on the ball is going to be the same distance, I need a new way of looking at this

  I tried an object pinned to the resource with the origin point set to the centre of itself and then tried to find the nearest to this object but, I'm getting the same results.

  I thought It would be like this

  1. find the position of bloke.

  2. find the position of resource closest to bloke.

  3. find the angle between each object.

  4. rotate bloke until it's at the calculated angle.

  So I have, thanks knew I missed something.

  Maybe I should set it up to find the nearest based on image point or create a hidden object pinned to the resources and find that.

  Hi, I have a problem I just can't get my head around right now. I have a ball with a base, 2 resources to be collected and two blokes to do the collecting which will move around the ball's surface. I have the blokes moving to the correct angle but, they don't pick the nearest to them. What am I missing?
