  will limit the angle to between -45 was 45° pointing at the mouse.

  Or do you mean limit the speed? In which case look at "rotate towards".

  Have you looked at using families? So into the family you could add all the things you wanted to spawn and then spawn family would pick one of them randomly.

  Dug out, tidied up and commented. This might be a terrible way of doing it because of looping through the code until it finds the correct member of the family but in my tests it appears to work quite well and saves quite a lot of code.

  Better late than never, as the saying goes

  Thinking about it - where I was using

  Sprite.Timer.Duration("cooldown")

  as a condition , it might be better to have used a instance variable boolean on the player (ivIsDashing ?) setting it in start of dash and using the on timer to reset it. Hope this makes sense ?

  I did something along these lines but instead of the

  if instance variable = x create xx

  if instance variable = y create yy

  etc

  I said

  required xx

  create family

  does family = xx then great

  else

  destroy and re call function

  so it loops through until it gets the required type might require several loop might get it first time...

  I can dig it out if you want to have a look ?

  "a part from the fact when i click on the object to make my character swing it puts him however far from the block due to my radius being a set number." If I understand this then part of your problem is finding the distance from the object clicked to the player and setting the radius to this distance? If this is the case all you need to do is

  radius = distance (object.x, object.Y, player.X, player.Y).

  Thanks, that's very kind of you.

  I add Kyatric to the list - I think he must of answered every possible question that could be asked about C2 by now.

  perhaps you could use tokenat to split your text and then add in a newline as required ?

  see https://www.scirra.com/manual/126/system-expressions

  edit - ok so I see LittleStain has beaten me to it again.

  edit 2 - and his answer is so much more informative than mine, don't you just hate some people ? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  couple of ideas

  first is with maths - have a look at viewtopic.php?f=147&t=69754&p=590475&hilit=limit+circle#p590475 as a starting point

  second is make several graphics that would make up the outside of a circle and use these
