Thanks for the post back, now we have a base to go off of, I can try and play around with what you have and may or may not be able to move forward. If I can get it closer without resolve I'll link the Capx file I think I have enough reputation to add files now.

With this I'm wanting the square to move towards where the mouse button is pressed, and avoid obstacles like walls to get there.

I think both ways work honestly. Depending on what he wants. I was taking it as a separate object. So if object 1 has speed and hp of 10 and object 2 has a speed and hp of 20. Destroy and remake a different object.

But as it is there is usually more than one option. I haven't played around with having a separate image but if you did that when object 1 becomes object 2 you just change the sprite and change the default speed/hp.

One is more efficient at removing unneeded variables the other is better at saving time, memory, and condensing.

Basically what I said :p just more words. Or object 1 hit skill level 5 (variable) spawn object 1 at object 2. On object 2 created destroy object 1.

Just have it make object two where object one is and destroy object one?

Like moving a king on a chess board but able to move further.

To move to a position within a given range yes.

Trying to set up a tile based movement, with click to move, able to move a set amount of tiles based on a variable, walking around obstacles, with the character centered in the tiles.

I'd explain what I've tried but I don't want to over complicate what I'm looking for.

When I get enough reputation I'll upload what I have.

I resolved it -.- trigger once for the win....

On start of layout "barn"

if Mouse "owned"

Trigger Once: Create object Mouse animalfamily.X + (animalfamily.count * 25), animalfamily.Y

if Horse "owned"

Trigger Once: Create object Horse animalfamily.X + (animalfamily.count * 25), animalfamily.Y

if Snake "owned"

Trigger Once: Create object Snake animalfamily.X + (animalfamily.count * 25), animalfamily.Y

Only displays owned animals and picks X location based on how many of the family are current. Puts Mouse at 25, then Horse 50 since animalfamily.count went up by 1.

Thanks.

The player obtains the objects: cat dog and horse. I'm trying to display those as objects that can then be interacted with.

When they buy or obtain an animal I'm trying to create an object at the top left of their screen.

Then if they obtain another animal I want to make that object 25 pixels right of the current object. Basically like an inventory.

I have a set X location for each animal Cat = x 25, dog = x 50, horse = x 75. Making a nice neat line of all the animals you own. The problem I'm having is if they don't have the animal then there is a gap, due to the set x location.

I just want the first of ANY type of animal to be located at x 25, the second animal at x50, and so on.

If they have a Cat, dog and horse, I want these objects to be made at Cat x25, dog x50, horse x75. Should they sell the cat I want the dog to be made at x25 and horse x50.

Something like so:

On start of layout,

if Cat is "owned",

is x25 empty?, yes: create object Cat x25

no: is x50 empty? yes: create object Cat x50

if dog is "owned",

is x25 empty?, yes: create object Dog x25

no: is x50 empty? yes: create object Dog x50

Still trying to figure out how to test an empty spot to spawn an object at. Can anyone give me anything to at least attempt or get my brain turning? Only thing I can think is testing if a space DOESN'T have one at an over lapping point if so set X to that. I guess I can try that. Too but I'm still kind of coming up blank.

I'm currently trying to spawn a created object to an empty spot against a wall, then having it stop. Followed by creating another object and having do the same. I guess think tetris but creating the object at the furthest empty left location.

I currently have something like this:

Create object Mouse animalfamily.X +25, animalfamily.Y

Create object Horse animalfamily.X +50, animalfamily.Y

Create object Snake animalfamily.X +75, animalfamily.Y

This leaves a blank spot if one does not exist.

I have tried this a few different ways this was the closest I got:

Create object Mouse animalfamily.X + (animalfamily.count x 25), animalfamily.Y

Create object Horse animalfamily.X + (animalfamily.count x 25), animalfamily.Y

Create object Snake animalfamily.X + (animalfamily.count x 25), animalfamily.Y

The issue is this kept making objects over and over until they ran off screen? removing the animalfamily.count to find how far to place the object via X location only makes one but again it wont test for an empty spot.

Please if I can help you help me by answering any questions feel free to let me know how I can clear up any confusion in my question.

Thanks!
