  I am using a Flash behavior for when I hit a enemy they flash. I need it to be a half a second long but I do not know how to set it that way. I figured it would be .05.....but you cant set it like that , it does not like the decimal number.... Any ideas?

  thanks stain. it worked, i never think about instance variables. Well I guess because never really fully understood what that was even for. I have a better understanding now. I guess i used global variable because i wanted the code to be used through out my different levels...

  So now my issue is picking again. So I play it using the debugging mode. When the bullet hits the bird the var is subtracted 1 which is great..... but it doesnt store it per clone......so if i hit a bird only once it sets the hp=1 then i go to the next bird and hit it with a bullet it is destroyed because the info of the hp isnt being separated per bird.

  I am trying to make this bird take more than one hit from my bullet to die...not sure what I am doing wrong.

  I have it going from birdHp=0 to birdhp=1 when hit, then when birdhp=1 and is hit again, destroy bird..

  Eventsheet 1...code 287

  Just thought about this because I am trying to do an intro for my game and I am having the main bad guy swoop down onto this ledge in an arc motion. Having a tool like what I mentioned above would make it easy and there are other ways to use that tool as well of course.

  I use to use Game-editor a few years back and they had a great Path tool. All you did was click on the Path tool, let it know what sprite will follow it and then click on two points, one for the beginning and one for the end, you could end up going back and manipulating the line by adding or subtracting points and adjusting how you like...

  I would love to see that in this engine.

  Here is the link.

  yea just an example...its on level 5....once the game starts you can hit Enter and go to the map...press z to enter and to shoot...arrow keys to move around, up arrow to jump...

  so in general i walk past the chesnut sprites and only the first one reacts, the others just stay in their idle animation..

  i copied an pasted within the editor for the duplicates...

  now I am having a picking issue...when the idle sprite gets within sight of the Chesnut sprite the first one switches

  animation but then i go to the other ones that i copied and pasted from within the editor do not change animation..

  i never know how my picking order should be...
