  Here is a quick test - it appears to rotate around the centre of the screen so all I have done is set the scroll to on the player and added a large invisible sprite to use to limit the player from getting too close to the edge of the screen.

  left mouse button and player moves towards mouse. q and e to rotate screen.

  Very basic , needs work, but it appears to work...

  good luck.

  local variables have a "static" tick box - if this is not ticked then the local variable resets itself.

  Your problem is that you are calling the sound loops every tick. Try this instead.

  And just to test it you might want to reduce the number of "sound makers" to one of each and stick them one in each of the four corners.

  It's working but you straight away turn it off again - event 5 calls the function and pins it correctly but event 6 straight away stops it. You can test this by changing the key required in event 6 from "E" to another key ("R" ?).

  Best game? Isn't the punishment for falling a little severe?

  I was trying to make a plugin so upon death you also get an electric shock through the mouse (unfortunately I appear to be limited to 5v...)

  I would still like to know if people now find swearing in games more offensive than the violence ?

  Is this the sort of thing you are after ? Why is it not appropriate ? We can do something similar using nearest/touch/mouse but need to know what you are after.

  "sword wielding girls" - now I don't object to everything

  "plaster glitter glue over the rusting sump" - now that made me smile.

  I don't think you can.

  You can access the back button using the browser object but lock the phone...

  Anyway it's because you are spawning your laser_beam on layer 0 (the background) rather than on layer 1 (your game layer). Using parallax is just confusing the position a bit - just change events 9 and 10 to Layer 1.

  Here you go - updated capx.

  Do you want it so you can touch near an object but still drag and drop that (one) object or do you want to be able to drag and drop several objects that are close to your touch ?

  Here is a quick example of the first (the second is slightly more complicated)

  Just thought - another way would be to just make the collision polygon bigger....

  I think that in your working version you have the chosen image point of the tank outside the tanks collision polygon on your non working version the chosen image point is inside the polygon. Event 18 checks to see if there is a collision between the the tank and it's projectiles family and if so destroys the projectile. So the missile is being created and then instantly destroyed.

  comment out event 18 in the non working version and see the result.

  SayShhh - pointing out your youth on this "old and wrinkly" thread is not a good way to make friends !
