  "Is overlapping" has a built-in "for each". It was the same in CC, although "overlapping at offset" just was a filter.

  If "Is overlapping" was just a filter your conditions would look like this:

  p_det | carrying=0

  p_pickup | is overlapping o_carrot

  for each o_carrot

  System | pick a random o_carrot instance

  "win32api" is a python library that is included in resolutions.zip that I first posted. When I updated the cap I didn't re-include the python files.

  Download the zip then download the updated cap and it should work.

  You could use a sprite the height of the text to cover the text at the top and bottom.

  Another idea would be to use the canvas object to paste the text into, then hide the text otherwise.

  You can add and duplicate layouts from the project bar

  Here is an example for grid based astar pathfinding. It's useful for a visualization of the algorithm, but plugins are better suited for something like this. As it is it's a bit laborious to re-implement it for every project.

  I think Animmaniac may have did something like this:

  You need to use sglorz' Input System plugin to use those extra keys.

  Try TiledBackground or lucid's Unique Sprite plugin:http://www.scirra.com/forum/pluginunique-spriteno-animuniqe-image-per-instance_topic43116.html

  They both allow a different texture per instance.

  Confirmed. The expression editor won't take an expression like

  "red"="red"

  It says "type mismatch, = does not work with 'integer' and 'string' (use & to build strings)"

  You can use a private variable to combine picking across events to do an "or".

  Also when in the event editor click on "events" on the top ribbon and use search.

  The timer behavior works fine. "on timer" is a triggered event, so it will be evaluated out of order of the rest of the event sheet. You also can't see how much time is left on the timer.

  You can also use a variable. Set it to the number of seconds you want and subtract TimeDelta from it every tick. The timer is done when it's less than or equal to 0. The main advantage this has over the behavior is you can see how much time is left.

  The only inaccurate way is using "every x milliseconds" to decrement a timer when x is close to 1000*TimeDelta.

  Eh, I'm no Yoda but here is a way to do tweening:

  /examples%208/tween.capx

  https://www.dropbox.com/s/pqhq1wzc04ch3 ... .capx?dl=1

  In a nutshell I used another sprite to act as a keyframe. In the events the two closest keyframes are selected and the Sprites are linearly interpolated from key to key.

  EDIT:

  Here is an simple example just doing what you asked:

  /examples%208/tween_simple.capx

  https://www.dropbox.com/s/yp9gjzezwxxyr ... .capx?dl=1

  and for fun I was tinkering with my original example:

  Check "Force own texture" for layer 1

  and uncheck "transparent" for layer 1 and make it white.

  "Stop Loop" just keeps another loop from being done, it doesn't stop at the current event.

  Try using "wait", it's much simpler.

  Every 1.0 seconds

  -objPushClick | Set Invisible

  -Wait 0.5 seconds

  -objPushClick | Set Visible
