  Hi,

  I'm doing the BobblePop tutorial in LevelZero and I'm having a problem with Set Text actions.

  I'm supposed to create two actions, one for Score and one for Lives. So I do the one for

  Score and the action reads Set text to "Score:" &Score, and it works when I run the game.

  Then when I try to set up the Set Text action for Lives, I get to the box for Parameters for

  Lives: Set text. I put in "Lives:" &Lives. The Objects with Expressions box starts flashing,

  and on the Parameters box I get the message, 'Lives needs an expression after it. Lives is

  an expression name and you need a dot and an expression name after it.' What's my problem

  here?

  Thanks,

  Willow

  Hi,

  I'm doing the BubblePop tutorial in LevelZero and have run into a problem. The instructions are to add

  a system action, which is to create a bubble at the Spawner's X and Y coordinates. I click on Add Action, then

  double-click on Spawner as the object to create an action from. Then I click on Spawn another Object as the

  action to add. I get a window called Parameters for Spawner: Spawn Another Object. I choose the Bubble

  as the object. The next line is Layer, the 3rd and last line is Image Point (the Parameters window in

  LevelZero has a line for X and a line for Y, instead of one line that says Image Point). When I put

  Spawner.X, Spawner.Y into the image point line, the Objects With Expressions window flashes and I get a message that points to the comma after Spawner.X--or to Spawner.Y if I leave the comma out--and says, "Syntax error, expression appears to end before here, are you missing something before it?" and won't let me proceed. What am I doing wrong?

  Thanks,

  Willow

  I lost (don't ask how, I don't know) the Properties Bar, or window, while trying to find the background size for the LevelZero tutorial I'm working on. It just no longer appears at all and the Layout view is MUCH larger. I've looked in the manual and did a search here but couldn't find anything. Thanks, Willow

  Hi all, I just downloaded Construct 2 and am getting acquainted with it. This is a good fit for me since I have zero programming experience. I'm going to make a game based on the children's fantasy novel I wrote, and also games about global warming. Willowjune
