  ObjectTypeName returns object name (a string), it can't be 0 or 1.

  You need to explain what you are trying to do.

  Objects on layout are always reset to their initial state, unless you use Persist behavior.

  You can save the image in Local Storage. Here is an example which saves an image from DrawingCanvas:

  Yeah, relative path Get(".name") should work inside of For Each Entry in "classes" loop.

  Try Browser Log Data.Path, see what it outputs.

  I also recommend this little project, it shows paths to all keys in JSON:

  I realized I mixed up pinball and arkanoid :)

  Yeah, for an arkanoid game I would probably use Bullet behavior.

  Have you seen the "Pinball" example in C3? I think ball physics there is pretty good.

  There's also an official example in C3:

  Not sure if I understand the problem, but can't you just use "Pick nearest Item" condition?

  Item on layer HUD
  Item pick nearest to (SelectionDevice.x, SelectionDevice.y)

  I guess you can use two tilemaps layered at an offset:

  

  Manually editing them will of course be a difficult job, you might need to create your own editing tool.

  Another option is to use sprites for tiles, especially if you need elevation. I tried it in this game:

  construct.net/en/free-online-games/green-shadow-12599/play

  You can download the source project here.

  You can use "Player On Landed" event with "Player is overlapping Button" condition.

  Are there multiple instances of AlmightStuff object? Then you might need to put your events inside of "For Each AlmightStuff" loop.

  When you are using AlmightyStuff.SlotNumber in a condition, then only the first instance of AlmightStuff object is checked.

  There are easier ways to link objects in C3 - containers and hierarchies.

  What you can do is place a tiledbackground object with 240x135 rectangular image on your layout. Set it invisible and lock in the editor, and use it as a grid.

  Space width can be configured the same way as any other character width - either in Spacing Data in spritefont properties, or using "Set Character width" action.

  Here is a popular tool for making spritefonts:

  construct.net/en/forum/game-development/tools-and-resources-27/sprite-font-generator-v3-64038

  It outputs a text file with everything you need to configure a spritefont in C3.

  Have you checked if your server receives any data? Maybe it doesn't give any response?

  You can also try "AJAX Request URL" action.
