  why do you have the player.y>spikes.y ? which is saying is the player below the spikes (as y goes from top to bottom of screen )

  If you only have the hitbox over the top section of the spikes is this needed ?

  Or are you looking to have a "if character is only falling onto the spikes then damage character ?" (maybe with a character.angle is between 0 and 180 ?)

  I think these are just so you can do things like

  tiledbackground - set width (tiledbackground.imagewidth * 5 )

  don't use the default controls and constantly simulate keyboard right (assuming scrolling from right to left) . you will also need to add keyboard object and run checks for other key presses

  Although you have already had a capx from mrcgkh I will post this as I have spent a bit of time on it and think it is worth pursuing...

  This i what i came up with - not quite what you asked for <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  instead of "l,r,u,d" or "1,2,3,4" I went for x,y#x,y ie the change in x and the change in y which will allow for diagonal movement so to move left 3 times left (then back) it would look like "-1,0#-1,0#-1,0#1,0#1,0#1,0" the number represents the number of pixels per step . so "-10,10 would move the sprite - 10 pixels in x and plus 10 pixels in y.

  I included a timer so the same "movement string" can run at different speeds.

  let us know how you get on ?

  my first thought is to use tokenat

  from the manual -

  tokenat(src, index, separator)

  Return the Nth token from src, splitting the string by separator. For example, tokenat("apples|oranges|bananas", 1, "|") returns oranges.

  you could also look at arrays.

  If you have not had a better answer when I check later I will try to put a capx together for you

  MadSpy - of course, many thanks.

  edit

  (I've updated the capx above)

  I had got it into my head that the spEnimies.Count would only count the spEnimies selected in the conditions on the left and had totally forgotten ( if I had ever known ) about needing to use PickedCount rather the just Count. I wonder how many other actions "ignore" the conditions set ?

  I'm off to read the manual again

  there is also an "Is on-screen" condition.

  edit - looks like I might have this condition wrong - let me test it and get back to you

  edit2 -

  not sure where/if I am going wrong or if this is a bug in construct - I will leave it here for 24 hours for people with bigger brains to point out my mistake before I post it in the bug section...

  simple capx test -https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=18F4A9008EF2B3E!4181&authkey=!ALAdp-NcZ9amZjI&ithint=file%2ccapx

  edited the above capx - perhaps a bit OTT ?

  phimaka - perhaps instead of using a global variable updated every tick you would be better using :

  

  although perhaps I should have called the group "less than five missiles on screen at once method"
