Ok, while looking for some answers to the capx I was working on for a tile swap system I stumbled across This Thread which has plugins and capx examples on how to do this... I was able to get the system working but it was a bit complicated so I was hoping for a more simple solution to such a simple task and found that thread which has it all.

I am considering doing something like this, I will put together a capx tomorrow to show you, should be pretty easy to follow

This helped me

I tried to simplify it, I really did, but it seems without the redundancy in place I was experiencing bothersom bugs. This I suppose is a full checks and balance system. I am sure there is a more simplistic way but I could not get one to work for what I needed.

Ok here is the capx I put together showing Dictionaries and JSON:

The dictionary can be used to store the names of animation names as a globally accessed value.

Hope this helps

Here is a capx using the Dictionary and JSON system:

also here is a cool JSON syntax validator:

jsonlint.com

I have started trying to answer a question similar to this here:

scirra.com/forum/topic64791_post401818.html

I will have a capx with this soon...

I will put a capx together

will take me a little while to strip it down so that only this function exists

Your welcome, glad I could help!

I am currently storing mine in a dictionary as I have a lot of values, but there are a lots of "set" and "get" expressions flying around, but it works best for me. Lets me recycle lots of values and it keeps them global.

Did you set the crates and the controllable sprite to "solid" in the behaviors?

Test movement? Could you be more specific? What exactly are you attempting to do?
