On collision is only triggered once when the alien hits the planet. It does stop the alien but only for an instant because the every tick event gives the alien speed again. A quick fix would be to use "is overlapping" instead of "on collision".

One possible use of unlerp is to do scrollbar math.

There are some solutions for bitwise terrain in this topic:

You're talking about the detector sprites getting stuck between the the yellow ramps and green walls, right?

Give the yellow ramps more thickness.

So instead of this:

*

**

***

****

Do this:

**

***

****

*****

*****

Google quickly revealed the formula here:

Can you post a capx file of the problem. Your description doesn't have enough info to locate the issue.

The "is overlapping" conditions are what's causing the trouble. It compares all the picked "destination" and "walk" objects together. It's kind of hard to visualize how it behaves sometimes so if you can reduce what objects are picked it makes it simpler.

For example you can condense the conditions in event 7 and 8 to this:

system: for each destination

walk: selected = destination.selected

destination: is overlapping walk

That way you select each pair in turn and "is overlapping" has one of each object to compare when it's reached.

You could do it with a top level layer. Just make it invisible until you want it viewed. The darkening could be done with a transparent black sprite covering the layout.

You could try some screen capture software:

You could then crop the video to only the game screen with some video editing software.

The simplest way to do that would be to add the physics behavior to your objects.

I think you changed your event. Right now it will only trigger if the player leaves the top of the screen.

Anyway to fix the crash (or hang) of your game uncheck "global" from your objects properties. When objects are global they do not get destroyed when the layout changes or restarts. So when the layout restarts when the player falls off the screen the layout restarts again because there is still a player off the layout.
