I'm not sure but I don't think so. But it sounds like your solution with the flag is a good one.

I'm looking for a web host (doesn't need to be free!) which should have these features:

• I can use my own domain name
• email, blog, forums, display videos and html5 demo of my game
• able to cope with IAP (in app purchases) from an IOS game

1. What would I need for IAP? PHP or something else?

2. Can you recommend me a good host to go with?

3. Anyone I should stay away from?

4. This one looks good, does anyone use it or is it missing features I'd need for IAP?

Thanks for your help!

abs(MovableObjects.Physics.VelocityX) will turn a negative into a positive

Are you intending to calculate (mass*velocityX)+velocityY? or mass*(velocityX+velocityY), in which case you would need more brackets.

Have you tried using containers to link the objects together? That way when one is destroyed, the others will automatically be destroyed along with it.

1. As distance gets less, make the chased move away. Hard to say why it's not working without knowing the details.

2. Maybe make the chased slow down the closer the chaser gets?

(see manual for "distance (x1,y1,x2,y2)")

It looks like you're trying to use this logic in the sub-event:

If A or (B and C)

Maybe try splitting those?

E.g. like this

1. if B and C then set flag "BandC = 1"

2. if A or BandC=1

Hey Brett, I wasn't able to download the plugin and I couldn't figure it out from looking at the xml of your event sheet. Sorry! I hope someone else will be able to help you out.

Do you mean you want a platform which is say 4 blocks long to be made up of LEFT-MIDDLE-MIDDLE-RIGHT block? If so you can use a loop from 1 to platform length if/then type statements to determine which kind of block to show based on how long the platform is

loopindex = 1 then create "LEFT" block

loopindex >1 and < platform length then create "MIDDLE" block

loopindex = platform length then create "RIGHT" block

Or did I misunderstand the question again?

If you post a capX or a screenshot of the relevant code, you'll find someone here will help you with 2.

For 3 I would set up a bunch of if/then type statements e.g. if distance to player > x then walk towards player, also you could use random to select which attack the bad guy uses.

"I am in need of some advice on the following screenshot which I hope explains what I am trying to do."

Not really. Is it somebody trying to find a path through a maze? Or is the whole thing rotating?

But I'll try to help. Could you use "distance" to decide which way to rotate? Also when to stop, when you are at the closest distance along the circular path.

distance(x1, y1, x2, y2) Calculate distance between to points

It seems like a good first project. A good place to start would be the manual and looking through the tutorials?

You can add the different tiles to your sprite using "edit animations" and then set the animation frame, as described nicely in this tutorial:

P.S. Why not make up something new instead of using Mario?
