I am not sure if I got you right, but I give it a try! You could create a SpriteFont and replace some letters with images - have a look on the .capx! I replaced "Z" with an image and wrote "ZUTTON" to create the String! I erased small letters and numbers from the spritefont - you could use all the numbers to put images instead of them, for example! Or use the small letters, or make different SpriteFonts!

I used blackhornets - SpriteFontGenerator_v2 from this forum to create a spritefont. I opened the spritefont with paint.net and replaced the "Z" with the image! For every "Z" you write with this spritefont the image appear!

By using a nice neat trick with animation tabs which really, for me, makes the Family feature just bland. Maybe I'll write a tutorial of it soon.

I only used 1 object for all types of enemies & 1 object for all types of towers. I'm trying this out on a Tower Defense and it works well, I don't know for other type of game but I'm sure they can adapt the principle of this idea.

I just hope that a dedicated feature for this kind of logic be added soon.

In this example, I provided different bullets for a single tower(got lazy to make sample towers, but you'll get the point) and a bunch of different creepy crawlers as 1 object. This example is in its simple form, study it and play with it. I added comments at the events to explain. Hope you will like it.

It works like this: Remove spaces

Thanks a lot, Mabaet! Good job!

Have fun, G.

Thanks for the replies, I've figured out on how to make an array-like for sprites, this would totally ease up my work.

Mabaet, would be nice if you could tell us how you solved it?

Thanks a lot, Codah!

I supposed that dictionaries have a different meaning - thats why I asked it here! I think I will work on with arrays, and maybe I will have a look on "Dictionary" a little later!

Now I have to go to bed, it is past midnight right now! I will work on tomorrow!

Just giving some other options, based on this: [quote:30hxloqg]I am searching for a way to create a list of words. During the game I need a random word out of this list.

I think 'WordArray.at( int(random(WordArray.width)))' is pretty easy.

A 1 dimensional array is a list, so it seems to fit. Now you mention 'editor' so I'm not sure what you want.

Thanks for your help, Codah!

I thought about arrays at first, and maybe it will be the best way to manage at last!

As I said I am new in Construct2 and I found the "Dictionary", so I thought it could be the "right" way to do what I want!

What I mean with "editor" is a future in-game-option to add new words to the list - not important right now, but a reason why I thought that maybe I should use a dictionary!

I also tried the "How do I get words from a dictionary"-post in this forum! There they also use an array at last, but there is also (a rest?) of a dictionary in the .capx - I only want to find out which way is best (performance, clean code, adding new words in game, ...)

Earthling here are some

I thought it would be easier to create an words-editor, with a dictionary as against arrays?!? Am I wrong with this?

Look for the .capx in the attachement

This is how I tried it very often, EyeForcz. It always brings the output "0"!

I use the code:

Set text to Dictionary.Get("lvl" & randomNumber)

to get the stored word, but as I said, I always get "0" (what is also the output when the key does not exist).

At the moment "randomNumber" is a global variable with the "Initial Value" 1!

Hi there! First of all - sorry for my english, I am an Austrian!

I am new at Construct 2 and I try to make a "Hangman"-game to learn more about the programm! I am searching for a way to create a list of words. During the game I need a random word out of this list.

I thought I could use the "dictionary"-object for this, but I do not know how it works. I made a dictionary (for example: Name "word1", Type "Text", Initial value "HOUSE") and I tried to use the "Dictionary.Get("...")"-expression, but I always get "0" as a result. I found no way to get the stored word "HOUSE"!
