I would give the turret movement another shot - it does the range checking for you, and it does it very fast and efficiently (it's compiled, optimized C++ code inside the plugin rather than events). So on the contrary, it would be a waste of resources to get it working with events when the turret movement can do what you want!

Yeah, the solution is in the question

15 % 6 = 3

Both sides of the % must be integers.

That should work fine. Try an event like this:

+ Always

: Sprite - Set Y to .Y + 1

using .Y is a shortcut for Sprite.Y if it's an action in the same object.

I don't think 'random' can take a negative value. By saying random(0-639) you're not saying between 0 and 639, you are literally saying zero subtract 639, which is random(-639), which probably isn't doing what you want it to. random(640) goes between 0 and 639 inclusive, which is probably what you want.

Instead of 'print randchar[cox]', you just need an ordinary Set Text action with a String object. As the expression for the text, you can enter Python("randchar[cox]") - this expression evaluates the Python variable and returns it to Construct. That should do what you need.

Yeah, for now you can use the Mouse & Keyboard object and create your own movements.

There haven't been any important stable plugin updates between builds since the auto updater was implemented. Any updated plugins on the CVS are not guaranteed to be stable or work at all - in the past when I've linked you to the CVS to get an updated plugin, it was simply a quick measure to patch something important, or just for general availability. So I'd advise against updating your plugins off CVS between builds, unless I've explicitly said it would work (there's no guarantee for example a 0.91 .csx file is compatible with a 0.90 build Construct).

I'm not sure this is possible yet, the controls system only supports one set of inputs! Multiplayer support is on the todo list though...

Everyone on the team is writing Construct in our spare time around full-time university courses. My course is sometimes quite demanding too so we simply cannot publish estimated timescales for releases. When they're done, they're done!

BTW in regards to the original problem I think you should use 'Is overlapping' instead of 'On collision':

+ On step

+ Is overlapping Object

: Destroy bullet etc.

Yes - it will disable all effects that aren't supported though, so your game could look different, and in some circumstances, may make it unplayable. You can use 'Simulate shader' to test it with shaders disabled.
