  • Fair enough but did you need to post it 3 times?

  • Did you set up a gamepad or keyboard scenario and disable the other controls when one is in use? What you are describing is when two animations are playing at the same time. If you can't work it out please post the events.

  • Think I got it working. Note I had to disable an event at line 199 not sure what that does right now but it was interfering with the swap. dropbox.com/scl/fi/5j1ivu7mujkfeur7kypkb/game_edited-3.c3p

  • When you click an item you can grab its details from the itemid ready in case the user tries to swap. If its a drag and drop scenario then you could check if dropping and overlapping slot is not equal to the same itemid then perform a swap as above.

  • Use pickedcount, where card.var=1 if card.pickedcount=3 then 3 are the same.

  • Temporarily store the slot id in a variable and also the details of the item you grabbed, in a separate array, then when the item is dropped onto an existing item, use the slot id of the slot where you are dropping and set all of that item's details to at stored id. Then for the item being placed use the dropped slot id to set the stored details.

    So for example, you picked up item at 6 and plan to drop it onto 2. Store in a variable '6'(itemid) and everything at 6,0 6,1 6,2 etc will be stored in a row of the new array. When the item is dropped onto slot 2, set var id(6),0 6,1 6,2 etc to the details of itemarray at dropped slot id(2),0 2,1 2,2 etc. Then set the dropped slot id(2),0 2,1 2,2 in item array to the corresponding values from the new array.

    Pick up item 6 - > store 6 in var and inv.at(6,y) in secondarray.at(0,y)

    Drop on item 2 - > set inv.at(6,y) to values inv.at(2,y) (swaps 2 to 6)

    set inv.at(2,y) to values secondarray.at(0,y) (swaps 6 to 2)

  • sounds like an ok approach. You would need to have the correct answer ready and then pick a sprite at random and set the answer to it with text or another var, and score instance var to 1. Then the remaining ones with score var default 0 you assign at random the incorrect answers.

  • The way you've done this is a nightmare for picking instances but also not great for performance as all animations are on the same object. The best way is to create separate objects altogether as you mentioned. Objects that use similar things can be grouped with Families, for example mother and son object could appear in 'NPCs' Family but are also separate objects.

  • When you create the green sprite it is not related to a particular enemy. You can add the green sprite to a 'Container' with an enemy, that means it is created with the enemy at the start (you don't need to create it) and also it is always related with the enemy in picking conditions.

    Then for the actual event if you say green sprite on collision with mine -> destroy green sprite. It would also destroy the enemy with it as they are in a Container. Note : your current condition pick with UID doesn't do anything.

  • Welcome! Not really a tutorial but check out the example game file with Construct called 'Pop Lab'.

  • Sorted it here, I made the type sword and shield fixed to each slot I don't know if that was the intention but I guessed so since they were named as such and had animations.
