  Just thinking out loud. If you wanted to slow the mouse down then you could hide the mouse, create a mouse sprite and have this sprite move towards the mouses position. I guess you would then have to write your own conditions e.g. if the mouse is clicked then you would have to check what the sprite was over rather than relying on the mouse conditions.

  If you wanted it to go faster then I guess (definitely not tested) you could go through loop of remembering where the mouse was compared to when it is and then multiplying this distance by the required amount. You would then need to move the mouse to this new distance and start to loop again. No idea how jerky this would be.

  Edit - I wish I could type faster.

  On "copy text button" pressed then copy = textbox.text

  Will copy all of the text in the textbox into a variable called copy.

  Copying only some of the text would be more difficult…

  It does sound useful, I must fight my usual paranoia and give it a try...

  Thanks

  Couple of options for you to look at

  the 1st is setting the text to separate layer and setting that layers parallax to 0, 0. Have a look at

  https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/37/beg ... t-2/page-7

  Another idea is to just pin your text to your player…

  " ive tried on what it says in the beginners guide but it doesnt work" - try it again, you have probably made a mistake. Look at the example and work out what it is doing...

  len("hello") = the number of characters (letters including spaces) in text = 5

  so len("text plugin") = 11

  run blackhornet 's capx and just work your way through it - this works as expected (nice pulse effect by the way)

  If you are calling a function in your code then you may need to tell the function which enemy is expected to fire...

  firstly try re-writing to not use a function and see if it works...

  "would you use it?" - yes, it looks good and I could certainly use it - How much moolah are you asking?
