Ah!

I hadn't come across anything about the Choose command.

That's very similar to the last game editor I used... that should work fine. I'll go read up on it.

Thanks!

If you are just wanting it to pick a between a couple choices you can use:

choose(a, b)

This will select one of the two..

So could also be numbers like;

choose(1, 2)

for example.

You can add as many choices as you want.

choose(a, b, c, d, 2, 4, 15, pizza)

The 'random' function is used for picking a random number between two numbers..

You should use choose instead i think/

Hello,

I'm pretty new to learning Construct 2 - well, very new - and am attempting to make my first game with it.

The game is a simple top-down shooter , and is a kind of mix of Asteroids and Galaga. Nifty little thing.

Anyway, in the game, UFOs are to fly by every 10-15 seconds. There are two versions, one that will fly from Left to Right, and one that will fly from Right to Left.

Now, I've tried a couple approaches to make this work, including setting a variable at random, and then choosing which UFO to spawn based on that variable's setting. But it's not really getting the desired result - and I have a feeling it's not very elegantly done, either, and is probably wasting events. I'm still on the Free version (for now - just need the $$ avail to buy a license), so Events are at a premium, and I don't know how many this game will ultimately require.

I'm guessing it's probably a very easy thing to do and, in my newbie's naivete, I just haven't figured it out. But, if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great, and very much appreciated.

Thank you!
