How can simple pulling of external xml be a hassle?? That is the simplest solution one could imagine.

Yes it would be possible.

Some things would likely require pretty complex functions/events and also likely some xml interactions (especially dialogue).

Map/movement/controls can be easily done with just simple events/conditions in c2.

no. I want each input produce different actions.

Like input can be any string for example and I want that 20 out of those strings would produce 20 different outcomes.

If the conditions parsed sequentially that would be just the matter of listing everything and then including a catch-all in the end. But C2 does not work like that, sadly.

The game looks nice, although I would eliminate the "shoot" button and make shooting continuous and automatic.

I think it would look nice on mobile.

Que quieres hacer exactamente?

Quizás puedo explicar mejor.

I do not think it is possible unless user closes app through some internal method (like selecting "quit game").

You can read parameters from xml file. it is very easy thing to do.

Take a look: https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/354/xml-parsing

And: https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/810/xml-example-20

My guess is that C2 does not do all the conditions sequentially (the logical way), it does everything at the same time. So basically randomPiece at 7 is NOT computed before the condition 8 is tested.

You should add wait to do anything in order you like...

jobel yeah, I figured that as well... but with like even 10 conditions that is cumbersome and does not look good.

Plus if I want to add more conditions later, drag and dropping can be very frustrating.

There should be another way.

What I hate most about C2 is the way it looks at all the events at the same time.

Lets say I want to implement the following condition:

(function input is a string that can be virtually any):

if input = 123 then ....

if input = 2414 then ....

if input = 432 then ....

if input = 4343 then ....

if input = 1223 then ....

ELSE (if any other input value) then ...

Is there an efficient way to do this??

I was about to write about minify blackscreen but new version fixed that!

Anything that looks like it is a monster but still very capable of creating advance technology (like xenomorphs) is pretty lame.

I really liked the aliens from the Edge of Tommorow. They were just crazy.

Also the single mind- race is interesting idea to explore in cases not related to pure expansionism.
