Sounds a bit like the base in Xcom or fallout shelter.

I would start with a big image as you thought and zoom in/out out using the 'layout scale' command from the system options. Anything you have placed will still have it's X and Y positions so it will stay where you place it.

The other element you need for this is an object for a 'camera' (just an invisible sprite with the scroll to behaviour attached to it). This way when you are zoomed in you can focus it to the particular room you want to see.

If you are a beginner, I highly suggest you start with Kyatrics list of FAQ. Study the examples and you'll pick it up in no time.

Basically no, but you can work around it by creating a new room when you need it to be opened after locking.

I remember seeing footage if this ages ago, I didn't realise it was still in development. Will be picking it up asap. Great work guys.

First and foremost you need a timer. This could be a global variable or an instance (object based) variable. Think about it like a stopwatch - you press the button, time runs up and then it automatically turns off when it reaches a value.

Check over the frequently asked questions sticky as there will be a ton of useful links to help you get up to speed with the basics. If you have any problems, post up what you have and I (or someone else) will fix it for you.

Hey Milan, it could be a few things. If you post up an example of the problem it will be very easy to solve.

Hey Usman,

The problem was that in event 4, you have the condition that only applies if the window is less than 525Y which is not enough to cover the whole screen size. I made a bit simpler for you.

Here you go: https://db.tt/MihlFyE3

Hey Miu,

There is a few different ways you could time it but why not keep it simple and instead of using 'timer < 5' switch it to 'variable1<45'. Then it will always be consistent.

Hey Bunneh, are the plugins essential to the problem you are having?

If not, if you remove them and re-post the the cap I will take a look for you.

Its not really about how many events you have, it's how many events are actively doing something that will slow you down (the more work they do the bigger the impact). Just make sure that you* aren't running events when you don't need to.

You can do this by enabling/disabling groups or using sub-events from a condition (when variable is set to 1 activate this logic etc).

Upload an example if you can Bob, I have worked with over 11 instance variables and never ran into any issues, you might need to scroll down perhaps.

This would be pretty nice to have. Cant see it happening for C2 but C3 is a possibility.
