If the player touches it and moves away I want the effect to still happen.

Currently the effects are triggered "On collision with Player"

How do I have the coin grow in size in this event?

I have a coin object. I want it to grow i size when the player touches it.

I can only see how to instantly change it to another size. I want it to grow steadily in size.

Let's say I'm making a tower defense and I want 10 monsters to spawn one after the other.

I know how to make it happen if I write out 10 spawn events and the relevant timer delay stuff.

But is there a way to just have a sequence of events happen a certain amount of times?

Is a For loop the common way to do this or is there a better way in Construct.

I'm fine with for loops but I just want to do things in the basic intended way for the purposes of learning Construct.

Ahh i see. Thanks

At the start of the game I do a simple:

Global number bulletSpeed = 300

When the user clicks, I have a:

Player -> Spawn Bullet

Bullet -> Set animation speed to 1000

This does nothing. The speed does not change. It moves at speed 300.

Thank you for your help that works perfectly

I have a bullet object. I'd like to change the speed of bullets if the player triggers some event.

Is there a way to edit the properties of objects at runtime?

Of course I can change bullet speed and all the bullets currently on the screen will change. But it won't impact future bullets. I want to impact future bullets and not current bullets.

Wow.. I assumed there weren't functions

Awesome

I found the 'or' option. I was wondering earlier if there were logical OR's

Sorry for the useless post. If someone could delete this thread that would be cool

For example, I have the 'p' key execute a dozen actions.

I'd like the 'start' button on the gamepad to execute those same actions.

Do I have to copy and paste all those actions into a separate event for that button?

That won't be ideal because then if I make changes to the actions, I'll have to make those changes in two places

Nope it's all good now. Thanks for your help

Ok when someone comes across this, here's how I solved it:

I set the button to be unfocused in the event associated with clicking it.

That's why 'p' wasn't working after I clicked the button.

It had nothing whatsoever to do with the time scale.
