I have some sprites that are created at normal size at random locations. ( we'll call these locations "areanormal"

That works perfect.

However, I have created a few new locations that have a smaller diameter ( we'll call these locations "areashrink". I would like to have the same sprites to also randomly appear at these other locations but have them shrink to the size of the locations.

Included a little graphic to show what I mean.

I did that . and used every tick. But the gun flips around and doesn't stay positioned.

I tried anchor but that didn't help.

It's the right idea but I'm getting something wrong.

I need to keep the gun positioned at a fixed point and when I move the pointer, the gun follows the pointer but stays at a fixed location.

I've moved my image point but still no go.

didn't work

perfect. thanks

I have a pointer that has drag drop associated with it.

While moving it around, I wish to have my barrel follow the pointer.

I've tried pin action but that doesn't work.

any suggestions?

ugly graphic of what I mean

I got it to work by moving system create objects to the bottom...

you have 2 nuetral4 side by side on the bottom.

The very bottom one will not work but if you point the other one, it will

the cyan one has a 1 for health to start with. Changed that to 10 so at least now the green one can kill it and make it change

That's all the time I have right now

Got it figured out.

had to leave "system timer <= 0" on the main event sheet

and then have the rest of it on a seperate event sheet.

seems to work

it's something with timer <- 0. If I disable that in my main event sheet, i get the same effect.

I just don't understand why it would not screw up if it's on my main event sheet but screws up when it's on a seperate event sheet.

yea, this is what it looks like when I include a timer event sheet

Keep in mind that if this same information is included on my main event sheet, this doesn't happen.

The graphic is just a place holder so you can see what is happening

I have a timer in my main event sheet that, when triggered, causes various sprites to appear and disappear. Working as intended.

However, just to make things a little cleaner on my main event sheet I created a new event sheet with the timer information. I included this event sheet to my main event sheet.

What is happening is that no matter where I place the included event sheet, my sprites are going crazy appearing and disappearing so fast that it looks like there is no timer at all.

Can a timer work this way?

This is what I have in my main event sheet and then created a seperate event sheet with the same information and then did an "include event sheet" onot my main one.

( yes, I disabled my timer info on the main sheet)

I moved all your "system create object" to the bottom instead of having them at the top

Thank you
