  Nothing's wrong about comparing different game engines of course, but that explains the question about GML :)

  Construct is a very capable 2D engine, you can take a look at this game we recently released, it's 100% made in C3.

  I haven't used Unity, but I heard that certain routine operations (like adding new sprites, animations etc.) are much easier and faster to do in C3, than in Unity.

  C3 is an almost perfect engine for casual mobile games. Unfortunately, when it comes to monetization (ads, IAPs), its official plugins are barely adequate. You will probably need to purchase 3rd party addons, for example this collection.

  You can draw an immovable object:

  howtoconstructdemos.com/physics-game-draw-lines-to-catch-falling-objects-capx

  But if you want the line to be movable and rigid, it's a pretty difficult task. I've seen a few examples, but don't have any links. And they all had some issues and limitations.

  Using Pin with Physics is definitely not a good idea.

  You can open project.c3proj file in Notepad and check which version it was saved in, for example:

  "savedWithRelease": 22500

  Then try to open the project in that C3 release, in the example above it's r225.

  If it opens, find the Pin behavior and remove it.

  You didn't mention that was the main issue. You need to post a demo project, it's difficult to understand what the problem is without it.

  Well, assuming you have multiple objects in the family and a single billboard sprite (perhaps with several frames and animations), you can try this:

  Family On Created
   Family spawn Billboard
   Billboard set animation ....
   Family add child Billboard
  

  .

  If each family object has its own billboard object, then you can simply add each pair to a container. For example, Zombie+ZombieBillboard, Vampire+VampireBillboard.

  Objects from the same container will be created automatically.

  If there are multiple objects in the family and only one billboard object, then containers won't work.

  Are they showing their billboards incorrectly? What do you mean by that?

  Also consider posting a screehshot of the event sheet.

  You can use "Family on created" event to create a billboard and attach it to the family instance with hierarchy.

  bueno_hernandez It works fine for me, attacks in all directions.

  This may be an issue with your keyboard, it doesn't support certain key combinations. Check out this link:

  Before accessing the data you need to load it into the array object with AJAX.

  See this demo project as an example. It for a dictionary, but the same applies to arrays.

  I also recommend checking out EasyStarJS, we are using it in our game for spirits pathfinding on large tilemaps with lots of obstacles.

  Here is an example with lots of instances moving without overlapping:
