  I figured it out. I had to upgrade from r86 to r90.

  I have Construct 2 Free.. How do I change an event block to an 'Or' statement rather than 'And'. I do not see the option.

  I might have found the solution on my own. The original intent for the code was to draw a card to the Player's hand 70 pixels from the last card in the hand so i was going to do variable "CardsInHand" x "SpawnPoint" so if whatever amount of cards in hand the new card would always be drawn next to it.

  But i realized im dealing with global vars. They dont change no matter what event so if i just do create object at HandX, 620 then it will spawn to whatever point is next of the last card in the hand because everytime your hand goes +1 or -1 HandX will +70 or -70.

  When creating an object, I want to set the x-coordinate to a variable times another variable. The two variables are HandX and HandA How do i type it in the x-coordinate of the create an object box?

  One more question doe.. When i create an object that goes to your hand how do i make it show a different frame. Im understanding the sprite frame/card image is linked to the array somehow. So guessing, im thinking maybe i create the object and set the frame to the number in the array.

  How do i set the frame drawn to the array number?

  How do i set the size of the array?

  How do i remove the number drawn from the array?

  I have a Card Deck. Cards are drawn from in-deck to in-hand, and in-hand to in-play. I was using an Array for the deck, but was thinking maybe I should make each card an individual Sprite so maybe they can each have their own animations in the future when played on the field.

  How do I make the amount of cards in the Array(Deck) go down every time a player clicks the deck?

  I have a bug. Everytime a Player clicks the Deck. The same card is always drawn. I have frames for all the cards in the Sprite, but it doesnt change when a card is drawn.

  Want me to post the .capx?

  The array route probably ends up with less work, if your smart enough to organize the card states (in-deck, in-hand, in-play)

  The family route seems more simple to understand, grouping each card/sprite into families (FamilyA=PlayerA's Deck; FamilyB=PlayerB's Deck). Each card/sprite would also have their own private variable that changes from 'in-deck' to 'in-hand' to 'in-play', and back to 'in-hand' sometimes, which can be controlled with the FSM, correct?

  Basically a finite state machine.

  A bunch of conditions like this:

  + GameState == "StartStep PlayerA"

  > do stuff required for this step

  > if done then GameState = PlayStep PlayerA

  + GameState == "PlayStep PlayerA"

  > do stuff required for this step

  > if done then GameState = AttackStep PlayerA

  Would GameStates be Groups with conditions and actions in them?
