  Do you have anything that sets timer running to 0?

  You need to set local variables to static if not they will reset. (That's how local variables work)

  If you want it to start on the start of layout just do

  On start of layout --> Set Running to 1

  You will need to add variables one for minutes and one for seconds.

  Every tick

  --> add dt (delta-time) to seconds

  If seconds >= (is more or equal) 60 (because there are 60seconds in a minute)

  --> Add 1 to minutes

  --> Subtract 60 from seconds

  And just pack it all in, in a Timer running boolean or whatever you want to stop/start it.

  And if you want it in a text object do:

  Set text to Minutes&floor(Seconds)

  Well. you could make it so that if there is no selections with the currentselection number then you go back to what it was before you added/removed something from the variable.

  I am not a good teacher but I made a prototype which might help. If there are any questions just ask.

  You can also use arrowkeys if you don't want to bother starting up your gamepad.

  The selections sprite is the grey one btw.

  I'm not sure that I understood what you meant but thanks anyway . I'm trying to use blend modes and tried multiply, but doesn't seem like they work all that well.

  I want to achieve the effect as in the picture above, the shadow is replaced with a "blueprint" map sortof style.

  I just want to know how to replace the shadows with the map.

  Any tips or examples would be great!

  It is possible to do. You should take a look at this indepth tutorial on how to do A* pathfinding. Really helped me out.

  I don't seem to able to do what you are saying. It seems like it "ignores" the squares on the way. Look at the example for walking. (From red to green)

  Just going to make this thread a little bit visible again. I have now tried creating my own A* algorithm (pathfinding) using the manhatten technique.

  I tried to follow this but I couldn't wrap my head around it:

  Anyone care to give it a go, or have any tips? It would be greatly appriciated!

  You could do a "LevelwallX" variable that changes when the screen moves. If Player.X is less than Levelwall set Player Xposition to "LevelwallX".

  So if the coordinates for the player go behind the LevelwallX variable you have set up, it will just "teleport" the player back to the wall.
