~~Worked for me, but may be I understand the problem not entirely.~~

~~https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U5rNB3f1WWBTfkGgYh_HNTTsnbLDQY_5/view?usp=sharing~~

Edit: No, you are right. It works only the first time clicking. That's strange.

Edit 2: I think you have a race condition. If I delete the wait-actions in the Virus-Event it seems to work. But if I trigger those events only once I get only one Player. So it seems the Advanced Permutation takes longer than one tick.

But it's nearly impossible for me to debug the whole program because of the waits.

I would try to replace the waits and make the advanced permutation not in the 'set text'. But if this works I don't know.

You don't set your Virus and Virus_Players variable in touch -> button_simulate to 0.

So it will fire the events 188, 189 ... even if the correct event to set virus und virus_player are not triggered.

I don't know if that is what you want, but there is an YT Example:

https://editor.construct.net/#open=youtube-api

If you click on the iFrame in the Editor you can put in an URL in the properties on the left side.
Use https://www.youtube.com/embed?max-results=1&controls=0&showinfo=0&rel=0&listType=user_uploads&list=YourChannelName For Example: https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=user_uploads&list=ScirraVideos

And that should! playing the newest Video of the Channel.

There is a follow behavior, maybe it's easier to use that.

There is an example:

https://editor.construct.net/#open=follow-behavior

And the entry in the manual:

Although it's not mentioned I just naturally understood it to be the case

The problem is that if I create a sprite I can set the position. This is not possible if the sprite is created. This is inconsistent.

If you use 'set position' in 'on start of layout' the object will move at the start to the position that is set in the Editor. I don't think that this is so obvious where the problem is.

And set position is a basic action not an extra behavior, if it doesn't work with 'Tile Movement' it could be confusing.

I stumbled over my second strange behavior that isn't a bug but is nowhere mentioned.

The first was that events in groups are sub-events. This should be mentioned, otherwise it could to lead to hard to find bugs.

The second is that 'set position' does not work with the tile movement. It took me some time to figure out why my sprite act so strange.

It's mentioned here: https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/7426

but not in the manual.

There is probably a better solution, but it seems to work:

It think you are looking for ObjectTypeName

ObjectTypeName

The name of the object type for the given object. For example Sprite.ObjectTypeName will return "Sprite". When used as a family expression, this returns the name of the actual object type, never the name of the family itself.

This makes stuff that resets on the next top level event (picking of newly created instances, wait for previous) a bit of a pain.

Thanks fedca. That is what I thought. It should be mentioned in the manual, otherwise it could lead to confusion.

Can someone confirm that? I had some strange behaviors of events in a group, but not outside of a group.
