Hi, I have two questions to ask:

1) How can I simply create a variable number of the same object (using random) in a certain space of the layout?

I tried to create a variable and an event that at the start of the game gives the variable a random number like 1 - 5, and another event that says "Var greather or equal 0 -> create object" and "add to Var - 1 "Thinking he would repeat the action several times, but it didn't work at all.

2) I would like to create a game like "find hidden objects", how can I always place objects half at the edges of other objects and half behind? (Considering that the objects that have to be on top could be some and of different shape) I could just do it in the layout, placing object by object, but it would take too long, I would like to insert planets or other things and insert small UFOs behind them, but all variable and so that the system does everything by itself

OK perfect! So I can get the effect I needed! (I took the alpha off the mask though)

Thanks for the help.

Sorry, I don't understand English very well so I try mostly to go by intuition, but what I want to do is really very simple: A portal, but invisible. imagine a spaceship game in which there is only the background of space and the spaceship, the spaceship enters an invisible portal and disappears slowly. Maybe with this Source out effect but I didn't understand how the effects work, they can't be changed, they are ready right? And in this example it is a single image or are they two objects?

What I need to do is create a long laser beam (suppose the object is 200px long) behind a turret, but move it a little to the right until the edge of the laser beam matches the edge of the turret, the laser beam should be invisible. However, as soon as the object is created it immediately starts to move but only a part becomes visible and increases. In fact, the ideal would be to be able to make an image half transparent and half normal if you could, but I don't know how. However I had not used the "DrawingCanvas" tool yet, I have now seen that it allows you to make only part of the px of different color, I have yet to see how it works but the point is that I should make an image only partially transparent and the transparency spreads in 'image. Or if you could create an invisible object but that when other objects pass over it they too become invisible (only in the overlapping part).

In any case I don't want to go from one frame to another, but rather make sure that the animation is continuous, for example the arc should be a simple straight line, which slowly curves and then comes back straight. Maybe with the DrawingCanvas tool I can solve the problem.

Another question, is it possible in one action to select (why would I need it now with the DrawingCanvas tool) multiple numbers at once? That is, if I can select in an image of 200px x 50px the part from 100 onwards for the whole height, I can make it transparent and then continuously modify 101,102,103 etc ... and the image becomes all visible. How can I simply select all numbers from 50 to 100 in one action?

Hi everyone, this is my first time writing to the Construct community.

There are some problems I don't know how to solve for example:

1) I should create a beam for example a laser beam behind a gun but make sure that it grows without changing the image, if I create the image under the weapon it will be seen, instead I would like it to be invisible and as it moves from a side becomes visible slowly. It would take a portal or an image that is invisible but can only hide the beam.

2) another thing that would be useful for me would be to distort an image because for example I might need to make the string of a bow move but not create two images one with a straight string and a curve.

I hope someone can help me out otherwise I'll have to look for a program on purpose ...
