The families sounds like what you need.

They are available since r75 for standard and business licenses and are still being worked on (families behavior and families variables are yet to come in the next releases).

Cstix: I've made this commented capx to show a bit how to use arrays, and allow you to test some stuff.
Hope it helps.

Cstix: there are several example of use of Arrays in the how do I FAQ (Section "Arrays").
And you can also cross-reference with the manual.

I hope it helps you.

ranma: dld again the previous capx.
I cheated using opacity.

It is a good question though, using the visible property with a conditionnal operator.

I'm not sure it can be done. If it can, I'd love to know how to.

For that one though, there's a trick/workaround to use a temp variable.

The code you first gave would look like :
on touch end -- object is visible? -- tVar = 0 ++++ make object invisible ++++ tVar = 1 -- object is invisible? -- tvar = 0 ++++ make object visible ++++ tVar = 1

This stops the "looping" effect.

?: is a conditional operator, which allows you to test conditions in expressions.

Use a global var "Level".

When you want to restart the current level :

Go to layout by name : "Layout" & Level (for C2 this will mean "Layout0", "Layout1", "Layout2", etc...)

For the next level, it is the same thing, just make sure to add 1 to Level on the end of level condition.

It will make integers out of your coordinates, so it works.

But with two objects moving at fixed interval of distance (each tick they move by X pixels), starting on "random" position, what are the odds that both objects ends up exactly at the VERY SAME X during their course ?

Answer: close to none.

For a few releases now, you have a system action "Go to layout (by name)" that allows you to write down the layout name (and so being able to use variable as well).

With global var.

Each time you will start to touch the sprite, it will save its position to currX and currY.

Touch position is obtained by the expression Touch.X|Touch.Y

So you can assign those positions to global variables "on touch start" and "on touch end".

You can also store the values in an array.
