  If you need to reset a variable, just do something like this:

  system -- set value -- var -- set to 0

  I have four variable's:

  PlayerPosition

  NPC1Position

  NPC2Position

  NPC3Position

  Every time they overlap a waypoint there next waypoint is increased until they hit the last one and the it resets to one, This is how i am trying to determine the players current position(for a racing game).

  But how can i determine which position he is in from this?

  I know how to determine if he's in last place or first place, but i need to know if he's in second or third also..

  Anyone have some knowledge they wish to share?

  Look at the example i sent you....

  To get the y-position -

  I added a text

  made a every tick event

  on that tick event, I set the text to --- BG.Y

  on that same tick i set the BG.Y to Mouse.Y(you also have to add a mouse object)

  Then just look at the Text to see the y position that fits the place you want it and set it to that....

  This may not be the quickest/easiest way to do this but it works..

  Look at the link again..

  i guess you could do co-op in the form of sharing the same keyboard, so one user uses the arrow keys, and another uses w-a-s-d

  Take a look at this,

  dl.dropbox.com/u/51270524/Platform.zip

  Its fixed to me, i think the problem was to do with the registration point of your BG, To get the position needed i just added a mouse object, set the GB to the mouse and found a approximate y position of the BG so then i new where to set it, i then added a event; on start of layout to set the position of the BG

  Construct is a non programming engine... People can use javascript to make there own plugins.

  If you still want me to make you a game then i'll do it, I come from a programming background. But i like using construct
