Whoah, incredible. Thanks!

So there's no way of moving the sprite (with bullet behavior) without changing the angle?

With 8direction I am able to disable the angle changes. Could I move the monster sprite towards the player with 8direction while maintaining the 0 degree angle?

Ah, thanks. The basic tutorial told me tu use Player -> Spawn which only works with image points. Doh!

What is the correct way to go;

a) Create a single monster object and change it's sprite, health + other attributes when it's created

or

b) Have own object for each monster type?

Since I have to do collision checks, destroy checks, scoring checks etc. to monsters, wouldn't b) method make me have to do this multiple times? Or can I group a set of objects and have events for the group?

Imagine me creating a game where there's 100+ different monsters and each have different speed, different bullets, different health, different sprite, different name, different loot drops. What would be the best way to approach this?

Thanks for the reply!

About the 3rd question; how do I set the bullet's movement direction without changing the visual angle of the sprite?

How can I spawn something on a coordinate instead of image point?

I have a few questions so I'll label them;

1) How do I make monsters detect the player? Is this always done with the LOS behavior? Is there a "object is in range" event?

2) What's the difference between making a bullet or 8direction monsters? Which one should I use? I want the monsters to wander around until noticing the player.

3) How can I get a monster to follow player without changing the visual angle of the sprite. I want the sprite to stay same way constantly but follow the player.

Hmm, Create bullet?

This is what I currently have:

Mouse -> Left button is down -> Player -> Spawn Bullet on layer 2 (image point 0)

System -> Every 0.1 seconds -> Bullet -> Set angle toward (Mouse.x, Mouse.y)

What I want is to get the bullet spawn 100 px away from the center of Player towards mouse pointer instead of image point 0.

I have a very simple event:

System -> Every tick -> Player -> Simulate pressing right

but it does nothing.

I tried

System -> Every tick -> Player -> Rotate 2

but it does nothing either.

I can't get the every tick to work at all. When ever I move the action to a "on mouse button down" event, it works like a charm, but the "Every tick" doesn't work. Am I missing something here?

EDIT:

Free version, only so many event sheets, doh.

I know how the image points work but I need to have a dynamic spawn point for the bullet.

How can I spawn a bullet from the center (origin) of the sprite, 100px towards the mouse pointer?
