It's not a good idea to mix Physics with other behaviors like Bullet, Drag&Drop, Pin etc. Also, Physics objects don't like sudden and sharp changes in movement.

I made a similar demo for another post, where a clone "fake" stationary bucket is used to simulate physics:

You can improve it, make it look more realistic by applying small forces/impulses to the clone bucket, in the same direction where the primary bucket is dragged.

It's the way float values work. You can do this:
Add 0.1 to var Set var to int((var*10)/10

Greaver You have two movement behaviors active at the same time - Platform and Bullet. They both have collision detection mechanics, so all kinds of weird things may be happening.
I suggest removing the Bullet and making the dash effect with "Set vector X" action, something like this:

Are you planning to fill all 7000 rows manually in Construct editor? It would be much easier to prepare this table in Excel, convert to JSON and then import the file into C3. Have you tried that?

I don't know how it's actually made, but think of a 1 px wide line that starts at object1 origin point and ends at object2 origin point. Even if there is a very small obstacle blocking this line, the LOS will be considered blocked.

LOS "draws" a straight line between origin points of both objects, and checks if this line is crossing any obstacles. So the form and size of objects don't matter, only the position of their origin points.

"On Tiles clicked" event picks one instance of Tiles object. Inside this event Tiles now refers to only 1 picked instance, and that's why you can't check overlapping with other instances of Tiles. And TilesCopy acts as a different object.

Create a new family TilesCopy, change the event to this:

Also, the origin image point in your sprites is way off, you need to set it in the center.

It will be much easier to help if you could share your project file.
