  • If they are constantly updating then you can keep clearing the variable values for all enemies then use for each (ordered) by X that means from left to right across the screen to renumber them. Or you could trigger this whenever an enemy dies, or some other way.

  • Yeah that looks fine if you are spawning different bullet objects :)

  • And the events for the damage?

  • Depends on what the events are for firing. For example if the global variable is now 2 and fires ice then you change the damage variable under the events for GV=2.

  • > You could have a global variable number and add 1 to it when you press right, subtract 1 when you press left presumably. Then in other events you have conditions GV=1 - set ability 1, GV=2 set ability 2 etc. If you have bullets shown in game, based on GV you can set the animation of the bullet and damage stats etc.

    If possible could you show an example of this?

  • The explanation isn't great and we can't see what you're seeing so have to imagine it. Guessing though, you could give enemies an instance variable numbered 0,1,2,3 etc and use a global variable alongside it. Always point the view at the enemy where the instance variable matches the global variable. If you're moving left/right with the keyboard you can subtract/add 1 from the GV. So if GV=1 it points at the enemy where enemy.variable=1

  • There's a pick nearest condition, use that and then the distance(obj1,obj2) expression.

  • If you really must turn off that condition then sure use a variable so the enemy can't be picked.

  • That's just what it does if you opt in to use the beta releases I don't think there's a way around it. You must be going to the launch page too much if you find it frustrating, just keep the editor open.

  • What you're describing is a multiplayer game, no? You need to build one, check out the example projects that come with Construct there are a few multiplayer game examples.

  • Multiplayer plugin, check the manual

  • Nope but I'm interested to know what the duplicate events are for tilemaps sprites and 9patches
