probably better to go with blackhornets sprite.count (ie variable=sprite.count)

How to open newer versions of capx files

unzip the capx and edit the caproj file in a text editor

find where is says (for example)

<saved-with-version>21100</saved-with-version>

and replace with an older number eg

<saved-with-version>17000</saved-with-version>

save and try

Search the forum for more information about opening newer versions in old versions.

second thought you might be better off just using the rotational behaviour acceleration and comparing sprite.rotation.speed to required speed and when close enough then set acceleration back to 0

one way

Have you had a look at the shadow examples that ship with construct 2?

I've had a quick look at your screen capture and just going off that, obviously not knowing the rest of your program, I would go about it like this:

This does not do what you asked - I go about it a different way. If you need to choose images from your array you are almost there. Where you are saying if music name is the equivalent of "bounce" add an action after this saying create sprite "picture required".

Anyway have a quick look at my version and see if you can take anything from it.

R0J0hound - Thanks for the update - I had a quick look at those links and it is definitely outside my comfort zone

Please don't spend time on this for me - I will either go about it in C2 another way or go back to the drawing board.

Thanks again.

R0J0hound - many thanks.

Now to see if I can make any sense of it...

Thanks for the link.

The problem I have is trying to get C2 to pronounce welsh place names - I realise it stands little chance just going off the spelling but I was hoping I could break the words down into individual sounds and stick them into the google TTS engine (planning on running on an android device because that is what my friend already has). Basically I think it is not possible and I am now looking at Nuances TTS for welsh off google play store - I just don't know what the TTS engine will cost when it comes out of beta and I don't want to give him something that in 6 months needs an update costing £ ( who knows )....

On the bright side the welsh TTS appears to work well.

Anyway, thanks again for the link.

beginning to lose hope.

If this is not possible is there a way to record (and save for next time) pronunciations as sound files inside C2 ?

first impression is I can't see anything wrong with that - are you altering the spShip angle anywhere else ? I will try to have a play later.

Happy to look at your beta if you want.

subtle bump - well maybe not that subtle
