  Hmm I think she might have gone missing with the website changes. Or else I've just forgotten where the clues were.

  It's not that surprising. The gap is very small because the player doesn't fall until they're completely off the platform. This is when the player starts to fall (when moving slowly, moving faster it would go even further off the edge before it starts to fall):

  So the gap to cross is less than 32 pixels.

  Depending on the movement speed and value of gravity, you can make it across the gap before you fall down.

  The family variable is common to all family objects but not it's value. Each member can have it's own separate value.

  astrosmash_edit.capx (r114)

  You say "the asteroid that's doing the calling" but an object doesn't actually call a function. Even though you're calling the function in the 'on created' trigger you still need to pass the asteroid's UID. Which you're doing in the capx, so then you just need to pick the asteroid with that UID in the function.

  That leads to another problem. You can't pick a newly created object until the next top-level event. There are threads explaining why that I don't want to search for right now but basically because you're calling the function from the 'on created' trigger you can't pick that newly created asteroid yet. The work around for that is the 'Wait 0 seconds' action which makes it postpone calling the function until the end of the event sheet, by which time the asteroid object is properly created and can be picked normally.

  I hope that makes sense.

  Side by side objects count as overlapping. Is that what you mean?

  Preferences -> Reset dialogs should fix it.

  I was playing with the a* plugin yesterday: mouseyPathfinder.capx (r114)

  I was having trouble with the mouse moving into the newly spawned blocker so I ended up separating the blocker spawning and the mouse moving. I see from your capx that you can manually block the path with the 'Astar: Block path' action. That's cool.

  I don't think the mouse is moving away from the player. He's going for the shortest path to the edge. He still goes towards where you are clicking if it's the shortest path.

  space Ape Good idea. Increasing the platform max speed while on the slope works well.

  You could also disable jumping on the slope if you don't want the player hopping back up.

  Maybe your text object is too small to display the output. Your test.php is outputting:

  {newline}

  test

  {newline}

  You could add 1 to a variable every time you spawn a platform and when the variable is a multiple of 3 (variable % 3 = 0) you spawn an enemy.

  I was trying some complicated ways to do this and then I thought of the most obvious way.
