Er, sorry- the forum is designed to trim URLs from new users to prevent spammers. Can you just give the name and author?

So, here's two numbers encoded as one. It gets trickier if you want more variable-sized numbers...

And it's definitely more trouble than it's worth.

There's a way you can do it, actually. With weird integer encoding. >.> Let me see if I can't whip up an example.

So, because an object lying flat is technically at 0 degrees, when you want your character to fly off perpendicularly, you actually want to travel at -90 degrees, or 270. So rather than set the angle of motion to that angle, you want [RotatingObject.Angle-90]

Here's a .capx that does, I think, what you want.

I will note that if your enemies should never stop moving, bullet behavior may be more efficient.

Though you can combine that with Turret...

Here, I made a .capx!

But if I run it on create, it doesn't seem to 'catch' until the next tick?

Actually, the method can work, because you can rerun that loop whenever you need.

Take a look at this .capx.

In this case, I'm running the algorithm every tick until I'm done spawning. You could run it exactly once every time you spawn a new character, instead, and the end-user would never see it.

I think you're missing something a little obvious- if I put Character 3 on top, then 2 on top, then 1 on top, what order are the characters in?

Take a look at this fellow, see what you think.
