  Here is a way to handle all the enemies over 2 frames. Change "%2" to as many frames as you want to span.

  global 'current'

  //// This only needs to be run at the stat of the layout or when an enemy is created or destroyed.

  For each Enemy

  -> Enemy: set variable 'group' to loopindex %2

  Always

  -> set global 'current' to (global('current')+1) %2

  For each Tower

  • Enemy: variable 'group' equal to global('current')

  -- For each Enemy

  --- Distance between Enemy and Tower < range

  -> Add target Enemy

  The main difference is CC's arrays are 1 based and C2's arrays are 0 based. So you have to change the expressions from "miner.At(2)-1" to miner.At(1)-1".

  Also when you generate a random direction you're using "int(random(4))+1" which will give you 1,2,3 or 4, and since you're comparing against 0,1,2 and 3 you should change the expression to just "int(random(4))".

  You need to install the visual c++ 2008 runtime.

  It appears to be close to the effect you're looking for.

  Try this:

  dropbox.com/s/l8to03nrq8w3rh1/mazegen.capx

  dropbox.com/s/zqe0vwyopx2ehps/mazegen3.capx

  The maze size is determined by the array size. Adjust the repeat condition if the whole maze is not generated.

  -cheers

  For me the action point is in the correct spot when mirrored. Do you have the action point correctly positioned in all you animation frames?

  Add a "play current animation" action to event 9, that will play the animation from the beginning.

  The "Set Animation" action leaves the animation frame number unchanged, so when changing to "Close" the animation is already done and "Animation finished" was not triggered.

  nyway does there exist any new themes or the old ones are finished?

  Not currently, and I don't see what's not finished about them other than them being described as such.

  Well since you are using RTS your enemies shouldn't go over solid objects. If you created the obstacles with events or moved any of them from there positions from the layout then you will need to run the action "regenerate obstacles map". The action "Set object type to avoid" is used for dynamic objects, but it does not calculate the path around these objects.

  When there is a green arrow in front of a condition it is a "triggered" event.

  You don't like the ribbon bar? It's not as simple to convert to a standard menu as you may think. Also what do you mean by "backgrounds"? Graphics? I don't think that's what you mean since CC doesn't come with any.

  You can handle the collisions with the "is overlapping" or "on collision" events. You can alternatively use a behavior such as "Ball" or "RTS" to move the enemies, since they handle objects with the solid attribute as solid. The "custom movement" behavior can also be useful as it has actions to push out of other objects among other things.

  It's working fine here. Note: It is not triggered if the animation is set to loop.

  Friction does not prevent rotation, it only keep the object from sliding on the object it's touching.

  You could apply a torque in the opposite direction as the angular velocity.
