Thanks for all the help guys. Those examples especially helped a lot! <img src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I am wondering if there is a way to have points fly above sprites heads as I earn them, like in super mario world for the snes. I already have my game set up to add up my score in the HUD when I stomp critters but it would just be cool to see the numbers pop up like +1!

If anyone knows how this could be set up I would love to know about it! Thanks much! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Awesome, that worked well! Thanks bigpappapuck. <img src="smileys/smiley16.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Hi all! In my platform game I have an enemy hive that has creatures spawning behind it every 3 seconds. I set up the hive to be destroyed when I stomp on top of it, but I don't know how to stop the creatures from spawning once it's gone. My 2 separate events look like this:

1. (<system> every 3 seconds) = (<system> create object <creature>)

2. (<player> on collision with <hive> + Y < 820) = (<hive> destroy)

What kind of event could I create to stop the creatures from spawning once the hive is destroyed? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Yay! It worked <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks so much Blinx!!!

Hi guys this is my first post <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I am loving all the features of construct 2, but am having a problem when putting objects on the layout like characters and platforms. Every image I drag and drop from my Pictures folder that I created using other programs like MS Paint and GIMP have a white box around them. So my sprites are more or less like cubes when tested and the white overlaps other objects. Is there any way I can either make the white backgrounds on my images transparent or cut the character out of the box?

I would really like to find a solution to this. Thanks for your help in advance! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
