  The timer behavior is very useful for doing things over time.

  Objects can have a no save behavior added, so you can use a helper object with that behavior to keep track of powerups.

  Alternatively, you can use an event with the on load complete condition to reset any particular variables you want.

  Min(variable1,variable2) will give you the lower of the two variables.

  Self.X>960?960:(Self.X<0?0:Self.X)

  If self.x is greater than 960, then set it to 960, else (if self.x is less than 0, set it to 0, else set it to itself

  A 0 means that the cell in the array that you are referencing is empty, or not in the array. For example if the array is 10 wide, the only the indexes from 0-9 will have data, since they start at 0. So if you try to get the content at x=10, the result will be 0.

  Without seeing how you have it set up I wouldn't be able to say why your dialogue events are showing 0.

  Use a timer behavior. Start the timer for 7 seconds when created, and on timer complete, destroy object.

  Use the binary data's geturl expression with the sprite load from url action.

  Upon selecting a car, set a global variable to a value that represents the selected car.

  When starting the game, spawn the correct car for the player by referencing what is stored in the global variable.

  There are a lot of options including arrays (reference by index), dictionaries (reference by key), or JSON or XML project files (reference by path).

  Instead of referring to the instance variable when setting the text, you would refer to the data storage format of your choice instead.

  Gave it a shot, it wasn't too bad actually.

  A. Draw it out as animation frames.

  B. Export the sprite as many pieces/objects. Scatter each piece like particles the way you want them to.

  C. Use stacked, 1px tall canvas objects on top of the sprite. Paste to the canvas object, and manipulate them for the desired result.

  Whichever way you choose, there is a fair amount of work involved for a custom effect like this. There isn't a premade one as far as I know.

  You can tween (value) anything that is a number. The tween behavior needs to be on an object though, you can use an invisible helper object if there are no other suitable ones.

  Here's an example.

  I also added a second layout using sine - another way to do it in case you want a cyclical change. Of course you can also just add an event to play the tween again when the first one completes. Up to you!

  If you used the mouse object's on object clicked condition, it should only affect the object you clicked.

  If your blocks are overlapping and you are clicking multiple at a time, you can add an additional condition. Add the sprite object - pick highest/lowest condition.
