"Load image from url" isn't working?

I would use timer behaviour for that..

on tap

start timer

on timer

create object

**on event that would send the signal

stop timer

Like I said, to differentiate between the two colliding objects you use subevents with the "system pick nth instance"-condition..

Like the manual says:

Pick Nth instance

Pick the instance at a given place in the internal list of picked objects. This is most useful used in sub-events to act on separate instances. For example, in a "Sprite collided with Sprite" event, Pick 0th instance and Pick 1st instance can be used to act on each instance involved in the collision separately.

I'm not sure I understand the question, because you can just set the angle of motion of the bullets..

Shooting all directions shouldn't be hard, would the player use keyboard or mouse?

If the event isn't true if the first instance has the variable set to 1, a "system pick nth instance" condition before the check should work for this..

Sounds like you want something like this:

Give the platform an instance variable TouchAngle

on any touch start

Destroy platform

Create platorm at touch.x,touch.y

Platform set variable TouchAngle to touch.y

Touch is touching

Platform set angle to :touch.y-Platform.TouchAngle

Ofcourse this is going to require some tweaking..

I guess you could work with the pickedcount expression..

Than the event would become something like:

family compare variable = 0

System compare two values: family.pickedcount = 5

family destroy

I'm not sure I understand..

Are there more worms than one?

I'm not sure if you understand overlapping at offset..

Because your example adds the x-position of the object to the value of the offset, it behaves strangely..

Offset is calculated from the current position of the object, so for my example I just used 200px..

Wouldn't

set layoutscale: clamp(InitialScale * (TouchCurrentDistance / TouchStartDistance),1,1.5)

Do the trick?
