I think you misread, its supposed to be

min(distance(x, y, Sprite.X, Sprite.Y)/2, 100)

Smells like a bug to me. Just tested this on my game, and the same happened

So try

+ Every tick

-> Set bullet speed to min(distance(x, y, Sprite.X, Sprite.Y)/2, 100)

Where 100 is the max speed

The expression min(a, b) returns the lowest value of the two, so if distance() gets higher than 100, it gets ignored and the game will use the value of 100 instead

You can make it

+ Every tick

-> Set bullet speed to distance(x, y, Sprite.X, Sprite.Y)/2

So if its too far away, its faster, and if its too close, its slower

Couldn't the 'create by name' string also be obfuscated in the same way? I have no idea how this works, but if its something like a md5 hash, it would be possible

Can you send the .capx or upload the game so we can test?

Just make something like:

+ Hero: animation is 2

-> Add 1 to variable "heroShield"

+ Variable "heroShield" >= 3000

-> Set "heroShield" to 0

-> Hero: set animation 1

Don't know if I got it right, but if you want to set an object to an animation and leave at that animation frame, you can set the animation speed to 0 and then, via events, change the frame.

Also, you can add multiple animations to one same object, you don't need 22 objects with a different animation each, chech this manual entry for more info

You just need to set these values in the same event right after creating the object. Construct picks that object automatically

Like:

Every 2 seconds >
- Create object
- Set var to 10
