  ...because one needs to run every tick and one doesn't...

  Sure, but how to call the event block with "For from 1 to 2" to run once per each instance that meets the condition at the top, even if I will split these events up? The code on screenshot below creates beams endlessly as well...

  Use boolean instead of trigger once. So the logic is when a boolean switched state the action won't executed further more.

  How do you see it in the context of my screenshot above?

  The top condition is technically a for each

  If you mean filtering by instance variable at the top - yes but, the small loop "For" below that create two beams runs indefinitely OR create two beams only for a single instance when used with trigger once.. Instead I need to run this small "For" loop ONCE FOR EACH of enemy_top... So two beams are created for each enemy_top...

  The problem: I can't realize how to create strictly two instances of laser beam FOR EACH enemy_top. Enemy tops are filtered by instance variable "shock", then each of them must create two beams. It would seem simple, but... The code:

  

  This is one of the code variations that doesn't work as expected.

  I was thinking of using canvas too. I'll play around with it. Thanks for the idea!

  Hi everyone! I'm wondering how to create such a cool laser/blaster beam effect? It is unlikely done with tiled background or 9-patch as I did laser beams before. Any ideas, colleagues?

  Check your array in debug mode, maybe your events are changing the width of the array.

  Thanks for this idea. It can be done easier:

  

  However it only erases just a "white square" around a player. Is there a way to make it more like a "pixelated" circle, like the one below?

  Hi, thanks for response, but I barely understand you. How do you imagine this: [emptyTile]+1 this will return just another tile e.g. my empty tile is 1, so 1+1=2 (2 is non-existent tile).

  UPD: Your idea will work if modified, however it makes a square but not a circle as I'm trying to implement.:

  I'm trying to set "fog of war" made from tilemap (single black tile 8x8), then erase these tiles around player when he moves to reveal the visited area. I found an example by R0J0hound that uses 1px tilemap, but can't figure out how to increase the tile size to 8x8?

  Hi everyone! How to access a remote preview on Android? The problem is that I only see "joined session" and then just "disconnected" after 1-2 minutes.
