Huh. I guess I was thinking too hard. After a little fiddling with other collision items, I simplified to

For each 'Badguy'

=/= Badguy and Solid are overlapping

It works now. Thanks.

Don't use Norton. It's a terrible program.

If you can't get rid of it, look for an exception list. Norton is probably acting up because one process is trying to call another, which could be a virus (But it isn't, it's Construct.)

I'm having trouble getting an event to refer to multiple copies of one object, in this case, a sprite.

As you can see, I have the sprite randomly spawn along the X-Axis at the top of the screen. It then drops until it collides with solid (A box along the bottom of the screen- I've tried making it collide with only the 'box' object, I get the same result) and stays there. The thing is, this only works for the first sprite. All the others just fall through the bottom.

What am I doing wrong here? All my other instances of spawning an object and using events with it work.

.cap if you think you can figure it out:

Thanks in advance for your help.

Perfect!! I didn't get the highest grades in programming or math so this helps me very much!

Thanks for reminding me to update too...!

I'm making a simple turret game and I want the enemy to randomly spawn somewhere within the layout (it will then proceed to travel towards the turret/player who must shoot it, etc.)

I can't for the life of me figure out a good way to get the baddie to respawn within a random area around the turret to generate a repeated assault upon the turret. I've messed with Create and create at offset to object, etc. and my current try is generating a random x and Y which yields no new creation (as opposed to other methods which worked, but didnt create the random spawning result i want) Here's my event screen so far.

Any ideas? Again, trying to get baddies to spawn around the turret. Thanks in advance for help.
