I use a private variable called 'state' for things like this.

State 0 for me usually means it just spawned, so I have a For Each, if state == 0, do setup things here. Then I switch the state.

For you, just set the state to -1 or something if it's supposed to die, and have a if state == -1 and death animation is not playing, play death animation.

I used to always get this problem, even though I knew how to fix it. I would quickly make something and forget that I needed to add logic checks.

Anyways, I think what is happening is that when you click, it's registering three times.

I messed around with your .cap and set it up like so:

add a private variable on the shop button called 'clicked' or something similar. default is 0

On Click/Double Click and ShopButton's clicked variable is 0 and Gold >= 18

do your gold subtraction, etc here

set clicked to 1

then to reset the button...

On Mouse Button Released and ShopButton's clicked variable is 1

set clicked to 0

Once I did that, it worked.

Yes! I had a bad feeling I was just missing something obvious. Thanks for pointing it out for me

Edit: Spoke too soon. Exactly how do I use an expression?

I choose "Set Colour Filter" and choose "Custom Color", but how can I give it an expression when the fields only accept numbers. Perhaps I misread or simply misunderstood what you meant, but in any case I still don't know how to do this.

Edit 2: Durr I could of sworn that I had tried that, but turns out I didn't! For anyone who doesn't know, you must right click just above the color, where it says "Filter".

Although it did give me an error... something about JazzUpTellTaleButton or something. Not sure.

Perhaps it's already possible, since it seems like it should be, but how can we set variable color filters?

The only way I know how to do this is to have overlaying sprites that have variable opacity settings, which is just too much.

Am I missing a basic function of Construct, or is this a valid feature request?

I tried to help with your problem but OH GOD THE EVENTS.

(Consider using groups?)

But anyways, the game looks really great. Interesting buildings too.

Haha, that is exactly how I found it too. In the readme (haha, yeah, a readme for this) I even linked to the site. There is a lot of other stuff on that site too, not always math related.

This was fun for me to make, except for one stupid error that had me frustrated well up until the end.

Recognize the patterns, anyone?

Hey you two. Tharky, your English is pretty good. It may not be 100% "perfect" but I do understand you completely, so it's good enough right?

I know I've introduced myself once when I first joined but that was so long ago. So... here goes again. My name is Neozuki, but everyone calls me Neo for short. I, like Tharky, enjoy creating anything. Programming boring programs, useless signatures, improbable stories, etc. The list goes on. As for gaming, I will play anything. Anything, so consider me when you need a "quality assurance expert".

Ah, thanks! I am very glad I don't have to use trigonometry.

How would I go about spawning an object (in my case, a projectile) with an offset, but the offset is affected by rotation?

To clarify, I mean making a bullet spawn on a certain spot on an object using offsets that would work no matter the object's rotation.

I can't use imagepoints because I want dynamic spots for weapons to spawn at, and I'm not even sure you can make imagepoints in-game.

Sorry I took so long.

Anyways, here is the latest picture of me, which was slightly stretched, but who cares?

Me outside in the snow, with a snowman! Wow! How exciting, and stuff!

Alright, I'll be sure to try that. I have both the installers, but it will take me awhile to get it transferred. When I do I will be sure to let you know if it works or not.
