Why do you need the SwordStuck variable at all? Just use Sword.count expression

Looks like when you don't pick LOS or Player instances, the engine will try to process them in pairs. I vaguely remember seeing or reading about this before. I'd say this is a bug, you can try reporting it. Here is a simpler repro:

You can add another row (at Y=0), fill it with random numbers. And then use "Sort X".

I have an old demo:

A container would've certainly explained this behavior..

Are events 9-11 nested under some parent event or function?

Can you reproduce this issue in a small project and share it?

Of course, the correct way to achieve the same result would be adding "For each Player, Player pick child PlayerLOS" to event #11

You have two "Set dx" actions. The second one should be "Set dy"

R0J0hound Still if the target moves slowly, the scope will be lagging behind and never reach it. I tried to make a sort of predictable aim - position the scope slightly in front of the target - but couldn't make it right.

The replace() expression replaced one substring with another. The {name} tag in my example is just the substring which will be replaced. It is not related to the Name variable in any way. You can use the word "banana" instead and it will work just the same.
Global string s=Hello, banana! Set s to replace(s, "banana", playerName)

I believe you can do this with MoveTo behavior - set something like speed=200, acceleration=100, deceleration=50. And on every tick move the scope to the object position.

You can't use &Name& in declared variable.

You can add your own tags, for example {name}, and then replace them with variables.
Global string Name=Pete Global string Greeting=Hello {name}! Set Greeting to replace(Greeting, "{name}", Name)

Global variables should work in all layouts and all event sheets. Check if there is the "Reset global variables" action anywhere in the code.
