I have a couple of questions which I haven't been able to figure out for the past 2-4 hours. The first deals with .ini files, and more importantly, how to incorporate them. The second deals with changing objects, simply put. Lastly, the third is about trying to randomly select a number, etc for some simple "if" statement equivalent.

Because it makes more sense in my head, I'll do this backwards, and start with three. I have a bit of experience working with Python, and could easily do this if I were just doing python. But, since I don't know how Python and Construct work together, despite this nifty guide.

Could someone show me how I could go about generating a number between 0 and 2 (ie 0 and 1, if I remember correctly), and assigning this to a variable which Construct would allow me to use in another event? What I want it to ultimately do, is determine whether Team 1 or Team 2 gets the ball.

Which leads nicely to the second question. How do I go about changing an AI object to the Player's control, so that the object can then be moved via keyboard? Do I simply delete one object and spawn another in its place, or is there a better way to do it? My only concern here is that if the object is tilted 90 degrees and then I do the spawn/destroy method, the object will spawn in default position. Needless to say, this looks jerky. I can live with it, but if there's a better way, I'll take it.

My first question goes into how I can use a .ini file to import character data, and then use it within Construct. Things like using their assigned Speed value to dictate how fast the object moves, or using their Shooting skill to do a simple calculation against the goalies Catching skill. Furthermore, is it possible to overwrite a single value in an already present .ini, without mucking around with the entire thing? As in, upgrading Joe Smiths level/stats, without screwing up John Doe and Jane Baker.

The Wiki really helped me understand the What, but now I'm just stuck on the How, I'm afraid. Thanks in advance, and goodnight. Maybe I'll sleep before the sun comes up. Blasted Construct, eating away my night!
