  Hello. I am trying to spawn a text object that displays text and a global variable together like this, "+ NANOPARTICLES (global variable number) nanoparticles". What is the proper syntax to do this. Thanks, Morgan.

  I hope this won't be considered necroposting but thanks LittleStain and volkiller730 - I just used these ideas!

  LittleStain - I've tried that. Unfortunately, with spriter objects, it doesn't seem like the pinning behavior works too well, at least that I've seen.

  In my game, "Psi," my zombies can be caught on fire with one of the attacks. It mostly works but I notice that the flames will sometimes jump from one zombie to another and zombies can't be lit when another one is burning. I want the flame to spawn on and stay on the same zombie and I want to be able to lite others when one is already burning. Please let me know if you have any ideas what I can do - here's the code:

  

  

  Thanks!

  lucid - I'm also trying to figure out if something is wrong with the way spriter objects interact with the pin behavior in C2. It seems so. I am going to search further back in this thread and see if I can find anything. Thanks.

  lucid - I recently imported the mutant zombie into my game. Though it looks perfect in the spriter program, it's arm is displaced when it attacks in C2. Any idea what the problem may be? Thanks.

  lucid - I tried to apply some effects to a family of sprites last night and it didn't work either. It seems that all of the new format files (with the entity name in them) seem to not accept effects or opacity changes, unless I'm missing something. Thanks.

  Pick what event you want to trigger it and then for the action choose System >>> set time scale to whatever speed you want.

  OK. Also I tried to set the opacity every tick and it still wouldn't do it. Thank you.

  lucid - OK. Also, I am having my attacks spawn from the wrong area again. I'm using the scml plugin updated on the 24th and C2 release 173. Any ideas?

  lucid - it seems like "set opacity" function isn't working for my sprite families.
