Hi man, thanks for your inset. I have found the problem: Sprite's Animation speed has to be 0 ! What can I say?

I have come to the sad conclusion that Construct2 is well suited for games but not for more serious applications. To my regret I have wasted my money on this program and are still seeking a real program for development in the educational environment wherein I specialize. So much for good marketing! Back to C#.

I'm still not comming right with this problem. Same situation when I use a "toggle variable". Could you try to simulate this:

Create Sprite with 2 frames (e.g. green & red) and put a number of instances on Layout. Also add the Touch control. Then enter the following events & actions in the Event Sheet:

Event: Touch Is touching Sprite    Action: Sprite Set animation frame to 1

Event: System Else                      Action: Sprite Set animation frame to 0

The first touch changes ALL instances to frame 1 but thereafter only changes the frame of the particular instance being touched/clicked.

Thanks LittleStain, will try that. Still the peculiarity of the scenario bothers me. It seems there is never a dull moment in Construct.

Hi. Can anyone try to shed some light on the following:

Scenario: Sprite with a number of instances. Sprite has 2 frames. Using the touch control, but running on PC.

The idea is that when the sprite is touched it animates to frame1 (from 0) else reverts back to frame 0.

Problem: The FIRST TIME any of the instances is touched (mouse button) ALL the instances animate to frame 1. Thereafter it works correctly for each instance.

Hi thanks man. I'll try out your suggestion and report back. :)

Hi, thanks for your quick response. Problem is that families do not make the instance variables of the sprites contained therein visible... it seems...

Hi, I'm a Construct newby and a first timer on the forum.

I?m experimenting with a Puzzle game. It has 16 pieces which have to be dropped on a grid to complete the puzzle. Each of the pieces consists of a separate sprite which I have put into a family called famPieces. The grid on which the pieces have to be dropped also consists of 16 squares ? each a sprite. I have put these into a family called famGrid.

My questions is as follow: How do I test for a correct placement of famPieces on famGrid as there seems no way to pinpoint the sprite in famPieces (being dragged) with the current underlying gridsquare in famGrid. Something like ?fampieces.sprite-being-dropped with famGrid.block-on-which-being-dropped?. Sorry if that sounds totally stupid, but it?s the best way I can try to explain. Is families the correct approach in this case? Is there a better way of doing this except for writing 16 conditions for every puzzle (20 puzzles = 320 conditions!)

Thanks for any help or
