  Had no idea how to describe this in just one box of text (the subject box).

  My problem is that I want to create an object every time the player presses a button. Maximum amount of objects is 3. When the player presses the button to create a new object and there is already 3 spawned I want to spawn a new object but destroy the oldest object (the one that was spawned first). If I had LUA I could do this myself but I have no idea how to do it in Construct 2. :P

  I think you might have to test for every orc then.

  For each orc

  Orc is overlapping bullet

  I'm having some issues when boxes are stacked.

  You wont be able to drag a box if another box is on top of it and sometimes dragging a stacked box will make it just pop down to ground level.

  Any idea on how to fix these issues? :/

  Yea. I can see now what was going wrong.

  That's the way I suspected I would have to do it.

  Is there no way to break out of an event? instead of using temporary variables like this? :/

  On shift pressed

  For each Object

     Object is overlapping Object2

        If Object variable = "Follow"

          Set Object variable = "Stay"

        If Object variable = "Stay"

          Set Object variable = "Follow"

  Why is this not working for me? It seems to set the varaible to "Follow" regardless of the previous value. :/

  Thank you zeph. Much appreciated.

  It's something I started toying with on my way home from work.

  I will see if I can get something interesting going as a proof of concept. As you can tell from my tiles my artist side of me isn't very strong. :)

  So I'm trying to get some objects to follow the player around.

  The easiest way I've found so far is to make the objects platformer behaviour (which has a lot of drawbacks). I've got one object working but when I copy paste it they will not run as seperate objects but rather as two twin objects (one stops moving the other does as well).

  I want them to act seperately from each other. :/

  I think the way yann is describing it is the way I'd like to use it. just not exactly sure how to implement it at this stage. I sort of understand how to do it and will have fiddle around with it a bit later but I suspect my way of doing it wouldn't work so that's why I'm asking if he could share the capx with the rest of the community. :)

  Been trying to get this behaviour working as well. Any chance I could get to take a look at the capx?

  Not sure if I've set this up correctly. The player goes in to the shooting animation but slides around as if always playing frame 1 of the shooting animation.

  I must be daft. Can't seem to find how to make a local variable. I know the global variables and have used them quite a lot.
