I'm getting a loading screen on both test and emulation but its not loading

Define random position? like whole layout or like special places to respawn kinda like counter strike?

If whole layout you can do something like Onstartlayout--> move player to Random X , Y. And if i remember correctly you had to also do something like Min max X value and Y value of your layout to prevent spawning outside of layout.

If you want specific but special place to respawn at you can create a bunch of sprite and label then spawn A, spawn B, spawn C, etc to how ever you want and then you can do something like global variable spawn point=0 and then do something like onstartlayout->global variable Choose number (1,2,3,..etc)

Another event for each spawn such as If 2 is chosen then move to spawn B.

And then after that under it i would add If global variable is >0 then make it equal to 0 so that it doesnt lock up the player to that spawn point only.

I prefer the specific spawn point but random because you can effective choose where to spawn and not have to worry about too many bugs.

your first would work best, how would that work with restart layout to make every event trigger properly. I'm having trouble restarting the layout after going to the 'main menu'

I get what you want make a new variable a global one called Lives let say you have three lives so onstart of main game layout make it three.

And run this for death, On destroyed then sub event If player has more then 0 lives then restart the layout and another sub event If player lives = 0, this is your choice Either use a game over to restart or do a go to main menu.

Is this what you asking for ?

I only want one life

I have a global variable and trying to restart the layout but it wont work. I had a game over screen that would loop or the main menu would loop and the player wont respawn. how can I respawn the player in a random postion.

To prevent pointless posting and guesswork, it is preferable to either provide screenshots of your Events or a .capx.

can I even post links yet?

I'm afraid that without seeing your capx and/or events this question can not be answered..

would a link to a vid of what my game is now help

I'm working on death and respawn and reloading the layout after going to the main menu but I'm not getting my player respwan and the layout wont reload cause of the main menu.

how would I create another player instance randomly.

Have you seen this?

no I'm new to construct and working on a game like spore cell stage and mitosis would this be useful to my project

are there any good water effects going around. I know about the construct 2 ones, I'm looking for help as well for a game with a lot of water effects

Don't post your main .capx - recreate a simple .capx that just highlights the problem you want help with.

Anything you post is obviously your own responsibilty.

You could even just post screenshots or hand-drawn sketches: anything that may help others to help you more effectively.

thanks

There is really no reason for me to spend time on creating something that might not even resemble your situation.

It's your question, so I suggest you create the example of your problem.

That way we can both be sure we don't waste our time on useless things..

all I am looking for is help with the collisions. I'm new to construct 2 I don't know if a capx would be the exact same to you.

al I'm going to do is script what ive told you above. plus my sprites are part of the problem. just give me some tips on collision

and ill fix it my self eventually

That being said, I guess having a game that actually works would be much better than "protecting" a game that doesn't.

my event sheet is a mess really ive messed up the ai and recreated it. maybe you could recreate with what ive told before. and you can see what I'm talking about, with them overlapping and ignoring the collision box

You should have enough to post a link as text, and very soon (500 rep) you will have enough for normal links.

what if someone took my capx and ripped me off. what could you do as a mod
