yes you are on the right track...

I would use an invisible sprite object field radius that is pinned to the players pos..

Then detect overlap with ground objects with the 'field' or 'zone' and raise the objects when they are overlapping.

or you could just use

System --> for each (ground Object) or use 'families'

System --> compare two values -->distance (player x,y, ground object x,y) is less than or equal to (your preferred distance)

action --> raise ground object

and of course copy paste all that and invert the events

if you follow me

hope that helps somewhat

happy to look over events if you get stuck

Try adding an event that goes something like either one of these

On collision with wall.object -->

Set Tank speed to 0

wait 1-2 secs

Set Tank speed to (normal speed) or play around with acceleration

or maybe even better

On collision with wall.object -->

start ignoring input

wait 1-2 secs

stop ignoring input

just test it and see what works best and tweak it from there

hope that helps

Simplest solution would be to lower the jump height of the player

Try adjusting that so the value is just above the platform max height threshold...

If you use 'snap to grid' in your view tab you could get precise platform heights and not have to worry about manual placement

hope that helps

Congrats on your game...Ill have a look when I get a chance

well done

You could also write your own collision detection based on dimensional arrays....

what I mean is...a sprite object is just an array of pixels...you could make an array for each sprite the requires pixel perfect collision and just program some code that constructs the array as a sprite...

I mean C2 is doing that already...but you might find a better faster way if you look into it..

each array entry point could contain as much information as you wish including positional data etc.

I mean its a double up but you might learn something new in the process which is what this is all about

The Function Behaviour might help you

https://www.scirra.com/manual/149/function

There are many ways to do this

I suggest creating a spawner object that you can move around the canvas however you wish ..either by using the

spawner -->set position to X{random(range)} Y {random(range)} expressions

or pathfinding

or bullet

or whatever you like

and either add a timer, a 'every X seconds' condition

or a system-->wait expression

to the spawn time ..

hope that helps somehow

Of course you can...but you would need a parser and all the other features of a bot to make it work

anything is possible..the only limitations are what you can imagine......but you gotta actually start writing the code or nothing will happen

I use a transparent helper sprite object that you can call an additional condition in your mouse event that detects overlap of the helper sprite

or

just add another condition to your Mouse event ...-->

System--> compare two values--> distance(player x,y,object x,y) < (whatever range you want)

just a few ways..hope that helps

If I understand your question correctly ...the event action you are looking for is

line 20 event sheet 1 make the login console read --> ""&Output.Text

that might do it.. ..see what happens

read your other post...just added the answer for you...

Right hand click on the event group scroll down to collapse all....also ..read the manual

left mouse buttons are action oriented..right mouse are power user controls in general
