korbaach How are you generating the board? It can not just be random as it has been proven that 1/2 the configurations are unsolvable.

From the Top-down Shooter template. Give Enemy an InRange boolean and the Timer behavior. Event 9 sets up the behaviour, by distance. Event 13 does the attack.

You should use the Timer behaviour instead. It times each instance. Every X seconds is a global mechanism.

Use an ELSE between your two state tests, otherwise you are setting the state to "active" then the very next line checks if it is "active", which it is, because you just set it to "active", and then sets it back to "deactive".

Convert each part into milliseconds. Your example:

1 minute -> 1x60 seconds -> 1x60x1000 milliseconds = 60000

6 seconds -> 6x1000 milliseconds = 6000

3/100 seconds -> 3*(1000/100) = 3*10 milliseconds = 30

60000 + 6000 + 30 = 66030 milliseconds

(I'm guessing 66032 came from doing the calculation as floating point so some round error creeped in).

You can use a Container to add an Array to a Sprite.

So the problem here is that BuildPlayerAnswer() takes the letters from Letter_holders.AnswerLetter, not from the user, anymore. The simple fix is to also store the user's input to AnswerLetter. Just add that one action to event 29 and it should work. (In the file I sent).

I've made a few changes to the game play.

1) I added a global for the TimerPeriod multiplier. I've set it to 2 for the moment, to give time to debug. Set it to 0.5 to match what you had before.

2) Two new instance variables on Letter_Holders: AnswerLetter and Done. AnswerLetter is set the the expected letter in that position. Done is when that position has been filled.

3) Hint button added. When pressed, it picks the visible Letter_Holders, then the ones where Done=0, then picks a random one of those. Configures the necessary values, then picks the the appropriate Keys that match the selected letter and hides that Keys.

4) BuildPlayerAnswer function is called when any letter is placed, and rebuilds the Player_Answer based on the consecutive Letter_Holder 'Done' flags.

There's still some cleanup, but this gets you most of the way there.

Did you extract the DLL also? It won't run without the two files together.
