Yea. I can see now what was going wrong.

That's the way I suspected I would have to do it.

Is there no way to break out of an event? instead of using temporary variables like this? :/

On shift pressed

For each Object

   Object is overlapping Object2

      If Object variable = "Follow"

        Set Object variable = "Stay"

      If Object variable = "Stay"

        Set Object variable = "Follow"

Why is this not working for me? It seems to set the varaible to "Follow" regardless of the previous value. :/

Thank you zeph. Much appreciated.

It's something I started toying with on my way home from work.

I will see if I can get something interesting going as a proof of concept. As you can tell from my tiles my artist side of me isn't very strong. :)

So I'm trying to get some objects to follow the player around.

The easiest way I've found so far is to make the objects platformer behaviour (which has a lot of drawbacks). I've got one object working but when I copy paste it they will not run as seperate objects but rather as two twin objects (one stops moving the other does as well).

I want them to act seperately from each other. :/

That worked wonders. Thanks for sharing. :)

I think the way yann is describing it is the way I'd like to use it. just not exactly sure how to implement it at this stage. I sort of understand how to do it and will have fiddle around with it a bit later but I suspect my way of doing it wouldn't work so that's why I'm asking if he could share the capx with the rest of the community. :)

Been trying to get this behaviour working as well. Any chance I could get to take a look at the capx?

Not sure if I've set this up correctly. The player goes in to the shooting animation but slides around as if always playing frame 1 of the shooting animation.

I must be daft. Can't seem to find how to make a local variable. I know the global variables and have used them quite a lot.

Hello.

I've pretty much just started using Construct and everything so far has worked out pretty good. However I ran in to a problem the other day which I can't figure out how to solve.

This is what I have:

Walking animation with 4 frames.

Jumping animation with 1 frame.

Falling animation with 1 frame.

Also I have a shooting animation with 6 different frames.

I would like to be able to blend in to the shooting animation and then resume the walking animation.

How would I go about to blend in tot he correct shooting frame and then back to the walking?
