Can we preload images by using second layout like ObjectRepository or it only works when it's in active layout?

Excellent explanation, it's understandable why it was not working, thank you again and again. I will use timer in this case, but I also wanted to know why it's better then custom method. Woohoo, now I can build my own tower defense, with blackjack, and ...

Your explanation was excellent and very informative about triggers and timer. Thank you very much!

After some experiments, now I definitely know much-much more about it. Occasionally it was difficult to find the correct way to trigger something only once. The surprise for me was that true/false is not a trigger. As I understood, the best and easiest way to convert a continuous event to a trigger is using "trigger ones while true as a sub-event" which saved me a lot of brain cells. If there is any other ways I would like to know it)

Only one thing I couldn't make to work while experimenting is every X seconds per instance variable of the family

Thank you for explanation

Event number 4. I understood part about trigger and why we don't need "for each" there.

Event number 6. Yes, it's checking distance every frame. So every frame, then base is in the distance it runs that timer. Okay, but "move to is moving" is also continuous and has no trigger (green arrow). Is not it just two conditions? Can I create boolean "can attack" make it true if base is the range and trigger timer by checking that true/false?

Why on created is not triggering timer correctly in this example?

How to make every X time individual for each instance?

Hello, Sensei dop2000 and Mr. igortyhon I don't want to be annoying and I remember how you helped me with turret behavior before, but I couldn't use it for main project. When you are making it, it works perfect and at the moment when I change something everything stop working. I just want to understand how it works to stop asking similar questions.

Why do we need that - 6 event movement check? What if there will be situation where units are not moving? Maybe to trigger timer only one time? But...

I created two more groups in the project with similar mechanism.

1) If timer is not working for continuous triggers, then why it's not working for "on created" event? (damage for some reason is only from first ally) I don't understand it and why timer works without "for each" for ally?

2) How to make it work without timer? Where is my mistake?

The timer was one of the ways to resolve the main problem. The problem is that all instances of family members are repeating events at the same time, even if they should have different delays based on their variable.

Here is C3P file the Group called V3 have every X time of instance variable and as I understood should attack with different time, but in my case they attack synchronously

You can use Follow behaviour to achieve that, check this links: https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/behavior-reference/follow

Example #1

Something like this should work. On collision set double jump to on, run timer and then turn it off.

Hello, you can add timer and platformer behaviours on player. After player touches the coin (on collision with coin) turn the double jump for platformer behaviour (set double jump = on), after 5 secons turn it off (set double jump = off)

Hello! How can I do action that depends on the instance variable in the family?

Why I can't make it work properly in my examples? Here are my attempts: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ly9r5o4hz8q0wxxh58elc/Attack-the-Base-in-Line-Custom.c3p?rlkey=oeu9hrt3tnwcs2kifzibtle35&st=yu5tbx7t&dl=0

Hello, cogote I thinks problem is that sprites are overlapping. Check this C3P Is that what you wanted to achieve? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1elj2rehreubvf5j42zgb/character-change.c3p?rlkey=lrcsfjh6nc0l0n8igp5qcibu5&st=yy16qa61&dl=0

Hello igortyhon, sorry for late answer. Your idea of combination two methods is great (set turret range to Ally.viewDistance), thank you very much!

Here is my updated version, if one of your website users or any other will need it. Some cpu resources saving that local Sensei dop2000 taught me.

P.S. igortyhon If will be very good if there will be sorting by data on your website (so users can check new material) Thank you again, and have a good day!

The idea sounds easy, but there is a catch. Turret behavior and a Line of Sight are calculating distances from object A to B based on the sprite's origin point, right? Because of that, in case an object A (enemy) is a sprite with an attack range of 10 and it's in the middle of the square object B (base) with size 20, he will shoot 20/2=10 and 10-10 will be the perfect min range. In case object A is on top or on the bottom of object B, then the attack range will not be enough because it's calculated diagonally. I tried to avoid behaviors and made it custom, but there's another problem. I found a solution to calculate distance, but object A is attacking object B synchronously, even if those family members have different variables for attack speed.

Please, someone explain to me how I can make it work with turret behavior to calculate distance not based on image point and/or where my mistake is with attack speed.
