  Without delving into the events I'd say the quickest fix would be to:

  1. Add an invisible solid box in these tight spaces to keep the player out.

  or

  2. Avoid level designs with situations like that.

  The simplest way I can think of add jumping to 8direction movement is to use a hidden object with the platform behavior to get your jump height from and set it up like this:

  Assuming you're using the physics behavior then applying a force to the bullet every tick should do it.

  The custom movement is likely the cause. As a rule of thumb if you move an object with the physics behavior don't use any other movement behaviors on that object. With just the physics behavior collisions should behave correctly unless the objects are moving with a very high speed.

  The pin behavior doesn't work well with the physics behavior. Revolute joints will work fine, you can swap them out with the other joints if you wish and see the difference.

  To create lift just apply a force up on the balloon:

  "Ballon:Apply force 100 at angle 270", change "100" to whatever value you like to adjust the amount of lift.

  It would basically be a flood fill.

  Here's an example that may help:

  I posted an example here that still works well:

  There is nothing called "WRAPPER" in Construct2 as far as I know. What would you do with it if it did exist?

  It should work. How are your events set up? If you are using "family.pick instance with UID" as a sub event of the event which creates the sprite, then the new sprite isn't included with the picked family yet at that point.

  Well, you could take an empty dictionary and add a key for each value.

  aka the "key" would be the value and the "key's value" can be say 0. Then add a condition to see if "Dictionary.KeyCount=4". If it's not then the values are not unique.

  That example was for Construct Classic(CC). There is also a space invaders game floating around for CC that uses the same approach.

  The approach was to use the canvas object and paste an object with the "erase" effect into the canvas to remove bits of the barricade when a bullet hits it.

  For Construct2 (C2) there is a Canvas plugin here:

  http://www.scirra.com/forum/plugin-canvas_topic46006.html

  And here is an example like the CC example:

  http://www.scirra.com/forum/how-do-i-simple-worms-game_topic47872_post300449.html#300449

  C2 doesn't have per pixel collisions so it has to be done manually.

  Finally here is another way to go about it that doesn't use the canvas object:

  Here is a few topics on random numbers without repeating:

  You can, you just need to set the animation frame before you use the "load image from url" action.
