Glad to hear from you and that your game is coming along!

It seems to me that all you need to do is add a global variable to your game (gTotalMatches), and when a match is made, you add one to that variable at the same time you add to gMatches, or at the end of a deck, when gMatches=gNumberCards add gMatches to gTotalMatches.

I created Array to store your imagepoints so that there are no overlapping Object3 (Objects sharing the same imagepoints)

Ok, I looked at your capx and cleaned it up a bit. Is this what you are trying to do?

Bummer, can you fix you capx link, it's no good.

That is because you are using "For each Object1". Are you saying that you only want one or specific instances to call the function? I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here, more info would help me help you

Check in your layout properties window (on the left side when you click on a layout), you will see Event sheet with (none) next to it. Click on (none) and you can link any event sheet to it. If you need to link 2 or more, make an event sheet for your layout and include the event sheets to that one.

Hope this helps.

Btw, you better watch you language here, no cussing allowed, moderators won't be pleased...

Have you tried System: Trigger Once ... ? Or System on Start of Layout ... ?

My bad, what I meant to say is:

Enemy: On collision (or is overlapping if you are using a mouse or keyboard input to trigger the event) with Sprite And IsHolding

sub-event Enemy: pick top instance => ....

mirko26

Just add a global variable or instance variable IsHolding set to 0, then

Sprite: On collision with Enemy AND IsHolding is = 0 => set IsHolding to 1, pin Enemy to Sprite (or whatever function you have in place.)

(When you are ready to throw, drop or whatever your Enemy:)

If key is down => set IsHolding to 0

That way, it will only act on 1 Enemy at the time.

Obviously, without a capx, I can't tell if there is a flaw in your code, but it seem by what you are saying that it would be best for you to drop the global layout and go for the global HUD objects. Note that for this to work, all the layouts MUST have the same layers (name+order) for global objects to carry through. Also, global objects have to be loaded for them to appear in a new layout, so if you set your objects in a separate layout, you must first load it and then on start of layout exit it right away.

I was just going to ask you about that.... Global objects are for objects that persist through a game. For example, if you want your player to change layout and keep his instance variables, you need to make him global. Layouts keep their data until you reset them on a "game over".

So your HUD elements should not be set to global, just the layer should be (one or the other, but for logistical purposes, the separate layout is better).
