making a box with a mesh is quite easy to do, it's like learning to fold paper into a box!

I think someone asked something like this a while ago, but couldn't find it.

Basically I have some blue objects which are in a container to a green object. Each blue object is in the blue family and each green in the green family.

Although, when this ball hits the blue object it rotates BOTH green objects - but I only want it to rotate the green object that is associated with the blue one.

here's a .cap if you need to see.

edit: would the pairer be better for this? or is this problem too much for construct's power to handle?

that's probably becuase he is continually falling then landing (although very quickly, that's why it shakes).

This is how I would do it, for each different character type (no gun, with gun etc.) give them all the same family. Then replace all your coding for charlie with family object, which will make it so that all of the character sprites are doing the same thing.

like this (i replaced 'charlie' with the family 'friedly'):

then you just need some events (maybe a global variable)

when character = 0 then make charlie visible and charlie gun invisible

character = 1 make charlie gun visible and charlie invisible

that's just a way to do it I guess.

If you mean for your own games, you can change the desktop icon by going to the project bar on the right. Theres a folder called 'icons', open it, then double click on 'default' to change it.

my cousin sometimes runs TV competitions, except its not really 'random' - he gets to choose who wins them.

if you don't think it's a bug but a problem with the way your doing it, then maybe post your .cap file so we can see what you've done.
