  Missed this one - followed a link from "What you may have missed in October 2015". Glad I did. Reminds me of when I used to get public domain discs for the Amiga.

  Don't know if I'm doing this wrong or if it's something you need to look into but where it says select FX the pop-up help at the bottom of the screen says choose from 1 to 15?

  Thanks

  Couple of quick ideas for you to try

  Does the debugger work with just a new blank sheet/no events?

  Does it do this with all of your programs or just one in particular?

  Does your program appear to be running correctly - is it stuck in a loop?

  I have not gone through your code so this is a bit of of an assumption…

  Containers will create all the necessary "things" in the container but they do not combine them together. I think you need to look at pinning your lines to the arrows. So you will have a line of code along the lines of

  Create sprite : pin sprite2 to sprite

  Welcome to construct 2

  

  This is how I would go about the 1st part of your problem and I agree about setting up walls around the screen and giving the ball the bullet behaviour with bounce enabled.

  I am sure there are other/better ways of doing this.

  have a look at the lighting example that ships with c2 - might be what you want

  Magistross - Thankyou.

  LittleStain - Nice fx. Been playing with your capx - I also like the effect of dropping the smoothing right down to give solid shadows.

  Yes I see what you mean, sorry. I think you could do something along these lines using LOS to a tilemap but it would be a blocky?

  also look at the following post where Magistross posted a clever shadow casting capx which might give you a head start ? (only for one light, but with work ...)

  Please post if you make any progress ?

  slight edit to the capx (is this ok to post this, mods ?) all I have done is change the walls to their own layer and between these walls and the new background I added a semi opaque shadow layer.

  (also added shadow catcher/lights as per your post <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> )

  i should have said that the local variable (lvAngleToMouse) is certainly not needed in this example - but it does make the listing easier to read

  So in your case in the actions you would just set up your required animation.

  also (from manual - https://www.scirra.com/manual/78/expressions )

  & can also be used as logical AND, and | is a logical OR operator. These are useful combined with the comparison operators, e.g. score < 0 | health < 0, which also return 1 if true and 0 if false.

  ?: is a conditional operator, which allows you to test conditions in expressions. This is especially useful when used with the comparison operators and logical operators. It takes the form condition ? result_if_true : result_if_false

  e.g. health < 0 | score < 0 ? "Game over!" : "Keep going!".

  The condition counts as true if it is non-zero, and false if it is zero.

  edit - I will try to put together a capx...

  adding a second condition is the same.

  first condition is true then move to second condition, is this (also) true then do actions.
