  You'll have to implement your own movement. You can use the expressions Sprite.Pathfinding.NodeXAt(Index) and Sprite.Pathfinding.NodeYAt(Index) to get the next x,y coordinates to move to. And Sprite.Pathfinding.NodeCount will give you the number of nodes in the path.

  [quote:2yalq32w]The problem with that is that the "for each: ordered" (which I tried using UID as test) is an event structure, not an action, so it is not triggered by a button or any other event but it keeps running all the time (useful for update collections of entities inside the game loop, I suspect). If I could do this as a triggered event after a click, It would be perfect.

  Sounds like you haven't discovered... sub-events!

  Yeah - trigger once only cares if the condition was true or false last tick. It doesn't matter what objects the condition is true for.

  Your event 3, for example, will fire once when there is any Sprite with Color = 1, and then it won't run again until there is at least one tick where there is no Sprite with Color = 1.

  In this case there is always a Sprite with Color = 1 so the event never runs again after the first time.

  You could give each button a number variable (1-9) and then use 'for each: ordered' to loop through each button ordered by number and append it's value to a text variable.

  Here's an example with one text object:

  You can set the background size to Text.TextWidth, Text.TextHeight + some border. The only problem is that the TextWidth/Height doesn't update immediately when you change the text so you need some delay.

  You might keep track of the old values in instance variables so you can detect when it has changed and update the background size accordingly.

  Use the Timer behavior instead of "every x seconds". You could add Timer to the text object and keep it's time scale at 1.

  The system loops (for/repeat) work with loopindex. The array loop (for each element) works with Array.CurX, Array.CurValue etc. You can't mix the two and use Array.CurValue with a for loop or use loopindex with an array loop.

  When you use a value after x seconds, you need to think what will the value be at the time the action is run.

  If you have

  set value to 5
  wait 10 seconds
  set text to value[/code:20elajpr]
  then the text will be set to whatever [i]value[/i] is after the 10 seconds - it's not necessarily 5 any more.
  If you're using loopindex or Array.CurValue then it certainly won't be the value you want after x seconds.
  
  So maybe a different approach like:[code:20elajpr]
  every x seconds [or on timer]
  if array is not empty
      get and remove first value from array[/code:20elajpr]
  
  or if you want to keep the array intact:[code:20elajpr]
  global number index = 0
  every x seconds [or on timer]
      color = array.at(index)
      add 1 to index[/code:20elajpr]

  This is great. The framerate dropped down to 10fps for me at the last section playing fullscreen. I couldn't tell at first if the slowness was intentional or not because it's so abstract

  The artwork is amazing.

  Yeah basically the actions of any object that allows you to pick multiple instances (eg. Sprite, Text, Array...) have the implied 'for each' loop.

  [attachment=2:rdag3jv4][/attachment:rdag3jv4]

  This:

  [attachment=1:rdag3jv4][/attachment:rdag3jv4]

  is equivalent to:

  [attachment=0:rdag3jv4][/attachment:rdag3jv4]

  Search for "floating point rounding error" and you'll see why 1.1 + 10 - 10 is not equal to 1.1.

  If you put the selection box over all four sprites then they'll all be picked but the function only gets called once. Even though you have four objects picked, only one UID gets sent to the function so only one of them has their opacity changed. That's why you need the 'for each'. You want to call the function for each of the picked objects.
