No problem, that's what the forums are here for <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

It sounds like you're looking for a mix of a few examples: 1. shooting bullets, 2. changing weapons, and 3.attaching weapon sprites to the image point of an object and pointing it in the direction of the base sprite.

I'll try and whip up an example if I get some time, but otherwise you can download the files from the URL in my signature below for a head-start <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Doc Ai ah I see, and I imagine that what's happening is the jump key will trigger "is jumping" once, before it hits the ceiling, then "is falling" triggers, before registering that it is on the ground again, at least that's what I guess is happening

Doc Ai ahh, I see, sorry for the confusion!

— glad to hear! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> and ah that'd really help people out thanks!

If I remember correctly Construct 2 has this feature from Construct Classic: You could put them on the first layout and set them to "global" objects, then they will automatically appear on every layout afterward unless you destroy them.

Or you can create them from an event sheet included at the start of your layouts

Webstorage should be fine to use. It even works with Node-Webkit I think.

Give him a physics behavior that is disabled until he is shot, then activate it and stop his other behavior (or if he has platform behavior, allow him to fall-through the floor if that makes sense).

I haven't tried this before though, but I think it's possible.

Welcome to the forums!

Also, it sounds like some objects are global/staying between layouts, are any of the sprites and etc global?

— it's not that it's not possible, just that it's a little tricky to do if someone hasn't made a plugin for it. Check out this Math for rotating one point around another: http://www.gamefromscratch.com/post/2012/11/24/GameDev-math-recipes-Rotating-one-point-around-another-point.aspx

I'd just put an invisible sprite there and say "while touching this - play crouch animation"

Doc Ai, this is the right forum for Construct 2 support. Are you using Construct 2 cnow23?

Do you see the basketball get destroyed? (that is, is the event triggering?)

Also, is the score value only set in that event? It's only set to 0 in the variable or start of layout?

Underdog you too! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
