  you should do > set text to str(Variable1)

  your var is a number and set text expects a string

  also if you use a var, you shouldn't but quotes around it ""

  edit: ow i guess you don't even need the str()

  best(easy) way is play by name

  and then

  choose("audio-name","audio-name","...","...")

  so you can leave names as is, and choose will pick random one

  Maybe the event nr2 doesn't execute at all..

  does the applause01 sound plays?

  is the final_boss "vida" actually 0?

  BluePhaze i think what you speaking of is called a framebuffer, but when we talk about vram in construct its the uncompressed size of an image, it was that i was pointing to, as it doesn't matter if you stretch an image for vram size, i dont know how much impact this framebuffer has on performance, i guess there's where overdraw comes in.

  BluePhaze

  just was reading this and i think your point about vram usage is not quite right (if i understood you right)

  i quote ashley here (from optimize blog responses about vram)

  "only the source image is kept in memory (what you see in the image editor"

  so this means that a stretched out pixel uses less vram then lets say a 32*x32 black image or transparent image, so stretching it over the screen will not add to vram, but is not advised because your likely to have more overdraw (stacking images) wich i read is slow on mobile and also that transparency overdraw and transparency in general is slower for the gpu than opaque

  also using the same image(sprite) multiple times doesn't increase vram, it is however slower using lots of objects

  i see, then you have to create a random number and depending on the number , do a create action

  randomnr = 1 > create

  randomnr = 2 > create

  it seems that bucket.health <= 0 at the top of your eventsheet destroys the bucket, (the one where you share your app)

  this will make the events stop working at the bottom of your eventsheet

  depending were the eventsheet is when the event fires

  so sometimes it will run, sometimes not

  edit: you can probably fix this just by moving that topevent to the bottom, so it only destroys when all events are finished

  just a guess, but in the data string u are using variables pass and user

  right now you are just sending "pass" and "user" as a string

  shouldnt it be ".....&username="&username&"&password="&pass

  thats the variable i made on the playerobject to save the uid(unique number of that object) of lineofsight object

  "nr" its just a short for "number" but you could name it anyway you like

  you can just position the ship at the the top, where you want it to stop,

  check the y position, and then make an event, ship.y < 50 set ship.y to 50

  as the ship y position gets lower then 50 (at the top) it will hold on 50
