  There will be several ways to accomplish this. After some tinkering I was able get it by making my Virus slightly larger than my tiles allowing me to check tiles that my current Virus is overlapping to potentially move to the next square. I added in a tracker for Virus life which drops down as time goes and eventually turns back into a healthy square.

  Check out my Video for details:

  You can from your normal screen just not from the project view screen... Not sure why.

  Here is a list of the built in Hotkeys though:

  I would use a global variable to store an Energy stat. While in use it should quickly drop and while it is not in use it should slowly regen.

  If you are interested this video will walk you through in more detail:

  Made a mini video clip with Construct 3 plus a little bit of Shotcut editing (Nothing fancy). Used all my own graphics for the first time on a project, it's a great feeling!

  Glad I could help you out. Yours is more efficient, looks like the compareX automatically cycles through each instance so the for each was redundant.

  A for each with mirrored/not mirrored depending on the x position.

  This short video should help you out:

  Create a smaller map and a character that moves at a portion of the speed.

  MonsterSpeed = 80 is known as a global variable

  Global Meaning it can be accessed from everywhere

  Variable meaning it can be changed

  "Also increase the speed monsters are spawning at" is a note explaining what the

  System: Add 1 to MonsterSpeed does

  Each time a monster is shot then the variable gains 1. So the first monster will have MonsterSpeed 81 then 82, 83, 84. I imagine somewhere in the game they MonsterSpeed variable is used to set how quickly monsters are spawned but I don't see it in the screenshot and I have never worked with this code.

  Hopefully this helps ^^

  sprite var = "orange"

  ForEach Sprite

  Then tell it what to do.

  I have a short ForEach video that breaks down a group based on a boolean variable (Plu it does random and .2 second gap) If you want some extra visuals you can check it out:

  I believe this is what is happening.

  Your first 2 requirements get met state and isMoving and then you tell the system to wait 1 second. After 1 second did you touch the button as well as overlap an enemy as well as hex overlap player.

  So you are asking for the first 2 checks to meet the next 3 checks at 'exactly' 1 second later or else it fails

  Might be incorrect, but thats my hunch from the small bit of code I see
