  Just ignore touch events. You can do this with a variable:

  Set variable IgnoreTouch to (time+5)

  And add this condition to all "On touch" events:

  IgnoreTouch<time

  Here is an old but still relevant tutorial from Ashley:

  At this point it will be very difficult to help you without the project file. Check the logic, use the debugger, add Browser logging to key events - this are the usual troubleshooting steps.

  It may still work, but it's no longer supported:

  Yes, it's a common thing. You can store global variables and functions on event sheets without linking them.

  JSON is just a data storage format. You can add any values to it, but you will need to program the events to process these values. For example:

  JSON has ".Sound" key : Audio play by name JSON.Get(".Sound")
  

  .

  Wait, did you mean "Custom Visual Novel Engine" template? In this case all the information is loaded into an array, it's not using JSON object.

  You can add another column to the array for sounds:

  StatesArr Value at (9, gameState)≠""
   : Audio Play StatesArr.At(9, gameState)

  In event #2 you have "On left button clicked on Terra", it should simply be "On left button clicked". There may be other mistakes. I suggest running the game in Debug mode (Shift+F4). There you can pause the game at any time and check the values in the array, instance variables etc.

  You need another variable, say, isFarming - set it to 1 when specific objects are clicked, or 0 when there are no objects in the array and the white area is clicked.

  Here is the updated project:

  TouchCount won't help here, it's for multi-touch, when more than one finger is touching the screen.

  No worries!

  And here is an example demonstrating why using "wait" in events that run on every tick is a bad idea:

  The first event on your screenshot will repeat on every tick if any soldier has a line of sight, and it will create lots and lots of delayed threads because of the Wait action. This is a common and very serious mistake.

  You need to use Timer behavior instead of "waits". Something like this:

  Soldier has LOS to target
  Soldier timer "attack" is NOT running: Soldier start a timer "attack" for random (0.5, 3) seconds
  
  
  Soldier on timer "attack" : Soldier stop
  .. Soldier has LOS to target: Soldier fire a bullet at target
  .. Else: Soldier find path to another target

  Try searching for "scrollable menu", "scroll menu", "scroll list". There are lots of examples and tutorials.

  The easiest solution is to add an invisible background sprite with Drag and Drop behavior. And add all menu items as children to that sprite.

  There are lots of problems in your code. Avoid using too many non-triggered events (which can run on every tick). Especially event #5 - it will repeat about 60 times per second while the conditions are true, and because you have "Wait 1.5s" action, it will create lots and lots of delayed threads. They will continue running and will delete other records from the array, will change the player's state to not busy, and generally will break everything.

  Check out this example:

  I don't have much experience with multiplayer plugin. Perhaps with string value you need to check that it's not empty. Add this condition to "For each cars" loop:

  Multiplayer.PeerState(cars.peerid,"inputs") not equal ""
