Thank you. I discovered that I needed to put the wait object in a container with the spikes and it would work, but the For Each Object condition is very handy to know.

Hello - I'm trying to set up timed spikes, with a private variable as the delay time for each instance. My problem is that If I have multiple spikes on screen they all animate at the same time rather than to the time set by each private variable. They appear to just grab one of the private variables and apply that to the rest of the spikes. Perhaps there is something fundamental I am missing here, but I thought that the whole point of private variables was to add some distinction between instances that are essentially the same?

Hello! I'm trying to set up a system whereby I can trigger doors to open when a character overlaps a corresponding plate on the ground. I've managed to set up a working version using private variables on the door and trigger sprites, but I'm wondering if there is a more elegant way to do this. I fear that if I wish to add many doors it may get messy. If any construct veterans would care to take a little look at my .cap and maybe give me some tips on how I could improve this functionality I would really appreciate it :)

Cap here!

Hi there, I hope this isn't a stupid question. I'm working on a game with quite a few layers and objects and sometimes find that selecting and moving what I want is a little difficult in Construct. Is there an option that I have overlooked to 'group' objects together so that they can be moved as one (like in graphics programs such as Illustrator or Indesign)?

I know you can shift click objects to move more than one, but I'm using a lot of normal maps so this doesn't really work well, neither does the click & drag method (buggy?). Anyway, if anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciated :)
