  Don't use "Trigger once" with conditions that test multiple instances. "Trigger Once" doesn't work per instance, as long as condition is true for at least one instance, this event will not be triggered again for others.

  Change your code like this:

  Change id to "SpriteFont2" in the .caproj file.

  <plugin author="Scirra" id="Spritefont2" version="1">Sprite font</plugin>

  Did you mean Axis(0,3)?

  Axis(0,3) is the filtered input from right Y axis. RawAxis(0,5) is the unfiltered input from the same axis.

  .

  Try this capx:

  So in the event sheet A you call a function from event sheet B, without including B.

  What if that function relies on other events from the event sheet B? Say, calls other functions or triggers some delayed events defined in B?

  This can cause problems that will be very difficult to troubleshoot.

  All fixed:

  You character is global, so you don't need to create it in every level.

  Stick is now pinned to the character. I also adjusted the origin image point on it.

  Note, that I removed 10Mb of music from your 200Kb project :)

  So you need a lightning ray like this?

  

  I think it's better to use a sprite with multiple frames and very fast animation speed.

  At least you could've let the old forums locked and searchable

  My point exactly! The old forum should be made accessible, until all the issues with this one are resolved.

  Yes, exactly, they are temporary, for storing something temporarily inside an event or function or event group etc. Another important thing about local variables is that they are visible and accessible only from inside of this event/function/group.

  .

  You create them the same way as global variables - just press V.

  You can also make them not temporary by ticking "Static" checkbox. Static variables retain their value forever (until you change it or exit your game of course).

  .

  Static variables may be quite useful. For example, you can create an event group "AUDIO" for all your audio events. Add a static local variable "audioVolume" in this group. Then even if you restart the game and reset all global variables, audioVolume will not be reset.

  Well, I still don't understand why your player can retain high speed by jumping all the time. This doesn't happen in my example.

  Also, dt*50 basically equals 1, and using lerp function with "1" as its third parameter has little sense. Your speed will revert to 200 almost instantly, in 1 or 2 ticks. So you can just set max speed to 200, without any formulas.

  .

  There is a difference between using lerp() like this and subtracting a fixed value every tick. With lerp you get high deceleration in the beginning and slow deceleration in the end. Subtracting is linear. See this example:

  dropbox.com/s/u3ybujq2ssg1yg8/SlowingDownTwoFunctions.capx

  .

  Finally, you shouldn't worry about the performance of math functions, unless you are calling them millions of times every second.

  This is odd, maybe WebGL gets disabled in Cocoon?..

  Have you tried packaging with PhoneGap?

  I'm feeling extra generous today, so I made this example of an inventory system with arrays and dictionaries. (actually, updated one of my older demo projects).

  Click items to pick them up. Enjoy!
