  For a strategy game I would go a little further than just checking who's closest,

  If it's an automated defense mechanism I would check which unit has the higher rank, which has the lowest health, which can cause you the most damage and target them accordingly.

  Just a shot in the dark, but if your animation is set to "loop" it will never finish and the event will not be triggered.

  I use on animation end a lot, never had an issue with it, upload the capx.

  This is how I would do it with 1 event

  If you need access to "selectedslot" at all time, you can move the var outside of the event and make it a global.

  Why not just do it with a bullet behavior?

  It depends on how big and complicated you're planning on making your layouts.

  With small/simple layouts you can mostly wing it as you go, but if you're planing on big layouts with multi paths and whatnot it'll be faster to sketch it down on paper first, at least the main routes of platforms.

  Work with tile based platforms and scenery 32px/64px, then use a math paper as your grid and sketch on it.

  You won't have to test everything since you know exactly how high and how wide you can jump.

  The tilemap plugin is amazing but it is still not perfect, you can't fill/draw a grid with rotated tiles and you can't select and delete a bunch of tiles and you can't move tiles around, so making changes to your path on the layout can be a little tedious a times.

  How about a layout init condition?

  An event that fires only once when the layout is displayed for the first time (re-entering/reloading layout does not fire this event), I usually manage it myself with a dictionary and by checking the layout name, its a pretty common feature to have in a game engine, though it's not that high in priority.

  hi Ashley

  I was also looking into it for my own project and I found this:

  http://dotancohen.com/howto/rtl_right_to_left.html

  On the bottom of the page you'll see a table with a character named "RLM - Right-to-Left Mark", it's an invisible character that fix ltr to rtl, if I paste it at the end of the text line it shows up correctly.

  Do you think you can add it to the official text plugin?

  Here is an example with hebrew text

  you can edit the runtime.js of the canvas plugin

  search for URL and replace the line of code with this

  ret.set_string(this.canvas.toDataURL('image/jpg',0.6));

  or any other format/value you like.

  No unfortunately file larger than around 800 kb cannot be downloaded, I changed the export url action to export a jpg with 0.6 quality instead of png 1.0 working with a 2048x2048 canvas size should work ok, that's the best I could get.

  On some cases its faster, but if you want to set it back to zero or hit a specific value it's a little tricky.

  I tried playing with it a little, but it's a little hard when you can't punch in the values with the keyboards, so I gave up pretty fast, I will look into it more later.

  Anyways this is a really cool effect and editor, well done mate!
