on q pressed set animation to pose2?

I just replaced the last event with player is overlapping collisions and it still works..

Yep, that works, but you could also just use is overlapping instead of the system pick collisions action.

Sprite object in the manual

look for "load from url"

lennaert, I think the scaling isn't the problem, the relative position of the sprites to eachother is, but there's no way to give a solution without knowing how the relative position is obtained in the first place.

How have you "conformed" the sprites?

Are you using pin behaviour or set to imagepoint?

another option would be to use a while event.

That would become something like this:

is overlapping set bullet speed to 0

while bullet is overlapping - bullet move 5 pixels at angle bullet.angle+180

Maybe you should set the bullet to bounce of solids to true. I thought the on collision worked with that setting, but I might be mistaken.

Bullets often move too fast (too many pixels per tick) to have accurate collision-detection.

easiest would probably be putting all collision objects in a family and

bullet on collision with family- set speed to 0

Also putting the every x seconds condition above the or-block could make a difference, but I'm not completely sure about that.

The for each and every x seconds are probably somehow in conflict.

why not give each player a timer behaviour and add an on timer function instead. The engine will check every tick for each player if the timer is ended, if so you set the timer again for player.projectilerate seconds.

You are aware that Construct2 is a game engine and not a html5 editor or program-creator? Although it has some possibilities (mainly through plugins) to create more than just games, it is still intended to make it simpler to create games.

If you'd like to create something different than games inside Construct2 (which seems clear when reading all your topics in this section) it might be you will run into issues which require creative thinking to find ways around problems you yourself created.
