Do you have a capx for that video? A 9 minute tutorial seems a bit long.

Oh uh. The Sprite 2 is the control rods. The Sprite 1 is the fuel rods.

I'm not planning on changing any animation frames based on the height of the control rods. It's an unimplemented feature. Basically it will be this: height of control rods > sprite 1 temp variable > animation frame of sprite 1. But it's wholly unimplemented.

I'm trying to guess how to get the control rods (sprite 2) to pull up, instead of down.

Version .1 or so.

I suggest making a parent condition that says at start of layout, and making those every 30 seconds events to be sub-events of that parent condition.

I figured out that I had to invert the second line in order to get it to work.

Still working on reversing the direction of the rods.

General suggestion: export your construct 2 games as an embeded object to your dropbox folder. Insert your game onto a webpage on your website. Since dropbox has 20 GB of bandwith per day for the free version, it's very useful to offload bandwith applications to it.

I use vlexofree.com, has 5 gigabytes of bandwith, never used it up. I'm able to use php and more.

I see. My only problem now is how do I deselect the rods, and how do I get the rods to slide up.

Have you tried Dropbox? Their bandwidth limit per day is 20 GB, with a free account.

The screenshot looks interesting, the web page takes too long to load.

I believe the calculations you have set up only pick numbers 0 thru 5, you'll need floor(random(7))

I re-read a tutorial on random numbers... it will also pick fractional numbers, so what you said doesn't apply.

dropbox.com/s/16m8tcxrtc0ytuw/scram.capx I am making a nuclear reactor game. This is what I have so far. I'm trying to be able to control the control rods (sprite2) by clicking on them and moving them up and down.

dropbox.com/s/16m8tcxrtc0ytuw/scram.capx <- this is what I'm basing my event system on

It doesn't seem to work when I try to convert it.

Takes too many shots to destroy enemies, some of the enemies move too fast, no way to upgrade your .... spherical space ship?

What. I swear I was working with group 0 first the whole time. nvm. Fixed.
