Are you using AJAX to request files? Could you post a screenshot of your code?

I think this is by design.

There are situations where you might need multiple functions with the same name.

Say, you can have different event groups (KeyboardControls, MouseControls, GamePadControls) and a function named "FireWeapon" in each of them.

Only one of these groups will be active, so you can call "FireWeapon" function from other parts of your project and don't need to worry about the selected control type.

See these two files:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8zap7yuhwdb0p ... .capx?dl=0

(I downloaded them from some old post, which unfortunately I can't find now)

This example may look different from what you need, but it basically does the same task - connects occupied tiles on the tilemap to each other.

So if you have two tiles, one at (0,0) and another at (0,1), you need for the first one to select the tile with exit on the bottom, and for the second tile - with entrance on the top. And so on..

You can do all this with an array instead of the tilemap.

Music should continue playing when you change layouts. You probably have an event "Play music" somewhere that is triggered when you go to another layout, that's why it gets restarted.

You can do this:

Audio tag "music" is NOT playing -> Audio play Music with tag "music"

This way even if this event is triggered multiple times, it will not restart the music that is already playing.

May not be the most optimized code, but it works.

You don't need a button to save or load.

You can save/load the game automatically whenever you like - before changing layouts, or when layer mission is complete, or when player collected some item etc.

You can use find() and mid() expressions:

Set position1 to find(text, "Chapter1")

Set position2 to find(text, "Chapter2")

Set resultText to mid(text, position1+len("Chapter1"), (position2-position1))

Of course you should add various checks in case any of these chapters don't exist, trim spaces and line breaks etc.

If you are subtracting health on collision event, then it's very unlikely that 50 zombies will collide with the wall all at the same tick (1/60 of second).

But yes, it is still possible that more than 1 instance will collide, so you need For each loop:

Zombie On collision with Wall

System For each Zombie -> Wall subtract 5 from health

Or use the PickedCount expression:

Zombie On collision with Wall -> Wall subtract (5*Zombie.PickedCount) from health
