As far as I know you can't drag resize windows like you can in mmf, but if you use the window object you can set window height/width and it stretches the display accordingly.

lol sorry I hope you realise I was being a dick on purpose

I'd find an "Is group activated" condition useful, basically if you want an event to happen when the group is activated, but can't have it in the group due to the order of your other events, like your group is at the top and you need it at the bottom for any reason.

Possibly more importantly, it'd be invertible so you can have stuff happening when the group is not activated.

WRONG

last time I tried to use it, flip horizontal didn't work

You live in Brighton? so do I.

Well until the 30th when I'm going back to uni in Bristol and moving into my own new house heh.

In fact, I don't think you need a loop at all

give the sprites another value called something like 'Team'

Add another parameter (after the other one) to each of the functions, and set it to 'Team'

Then make the functions:

On function

+sprite value 'Team'=Function.Param(2)

+sprite value 'Follow'<Function.Param(1)

+pick with highest value 'Follow'

That should work, then only the ones in their own team will follow eachother, and they'll follow the next highest value

so if red team 3,6,8,9 and blue team 1,2,4,5,7,.

9 follows 8 follows 6 follows 3 which doesn't follow anything (so you'd set it to)

7 follows 5 etc

in that cap, in the "on function" events, the second condition says:

"Sprite value 'Follow' = Function.Param(1)-1"

that -1 at the end is what you'd be changing in the loop, it corresponds to how many in front it wants to follow, this is the condition which picks the object it's meant to be following, so you'd check the one with follow=Function.Param(1)-1, if that's not in the group go onto Function.Param(1)-2 etc

You could try having another value on each object which designates their team, then when it's looking for the next object, have it call a loop which checks to see if the next follow value is in this team, if its not move on to the next one after that, then once it's found one stop the loop and send that's x and y back to the original object.

Just don't have about 100 guys or it will probably start to lag with all the nested looping.

Surely if one dies thats exactly what you want it to do, remove it from the line so it doesn't get referenced. You can still have multiple groups.

yeah basically you can do whatever you want with the movement, all the function stuff does is find out the X and Y of the next one in the line, ('GotoX' and 'GotoY' in that example) so you can move towards that however you like.

I can't be bothered to make a whole engine heh, but this just demonstrates how to retrieve information from another specific instance of the same object.

I have to admit it's not ideal when you need things like on collision between Sprite and Sprite, and you have to call about 4 functions, gets a bit confusing, I'm sure its possible though.

I don't understand what you want to do exactly.

If you set one of their positions somewhere, the ones behind it should follow it. You can also add to the for each object loop something that makes it ignore the one you want to move, if you need to.

If you want one of the objects to leave the line on it's own (or be destroyed), I guess you can set it's value to -1 or whatever then either set all the values behind it to one less than their value.

Or you could just make the one behind it temporarily always set gotox and gotoy of the one 2 ahead of it (using the same functions, with the parameter as what it was -1) then when it rejoins the line, stop that event somehow and it would go back to its original position in the line, though this wouldn't really work when destroying it.
