Could it be with an extra behavior and control the x position at all times?

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you share your project file or a screenshot of events?

All your events run on every tick (repeated 60 times per second or even more). What's even worse is that you are using "Wait" action in such events. This means that the delayed actions will continue to run for 1 second even after the condition has become false, changing variables, stopping audio, changing animations. This will very likely break your game!

All these checks can and should be performed in the same event where the hungryScore is changed - simply add sub-events. Then you won't even need that boolean.
// Main event Character on collision with Food: Subtract 1 from hungryScore // Sub-events If hungryScore=1 : do this Else If hungryScore=2 : do some other thing Else If hungryScore=3 : do something else

FileChooser Click action only emulates a click on this object. You still need to wait for the user to pick the file they want to load.

So you can't put AJAX Request immediately after that. You need to use "On changed" trigger and request the selected FileURL, not "teams.txt":

Hi Ashley, Thanks for considering this!

I found this project:

github.com/actions/stale
If I understand correctly, by setting days-before-stale=365 and ignore-updates=true, all issues would be unconditionally marked as stale after a year. And it’s possible to auto-close stale issues as well.

However, I'm still unclear about your approach to popular suggestions with lots of votes. Are you reviewing them regularly throughout the year, or only before the annual purge/archiving in January? What should people do if their idea has received lots of votes but ends up being closed after a year without any feedback from you?

Thanks for the reply, but I don't want a mirrored depending on rotation

It won't be if you use Sprite.Pathfinding.MovingAngle expression.

No, you need this API:

github.com/PsychoGoldfishNG/NewgroundsIO-JS
Download NewgroundsIO.min.js script from Dist folder and add it to the project. Set its purpose to "Import for events". Then you will be able to use its methods. For example:
NGIO.init("39685:NJ1KkPGb","qsqKxz5dJouIkUNe3NBppQ==", { version: "1.0.0", checkHostLicense: true, autoLogNewView: true, preloadMedals: true, preloadScoreBoards: true, preloadSaveSlots: true, debugMode: false }); NGIO.unlockMedal("name");

Event #3 is wrong, this is not how you use raycasting. Have you seen the official example?

Instead of the overlapping check you need to use "ray intersected" condition. And set the laser width to LineOfSight.hitdistance

You can compare Sprite.Pathfinding.MovingAngle

+ System: Sprite.Pathfinding.MovingAngle is between -90 and 90 degrees
-> Sprite: Set not mirrored

+ System: Else
-> Sprite: Set mirrored

You can add 10*60*1000 to the clock variable every 1 second - this will equal to 10 minutes in milliseconds.

Then convert that value to days/hours/minutes using Date expressions. For example Date.GetHours(clockVar) will return the number of hours.

See the official example for the Date plugin.

Use "AJAX Request URL" action. Also I really recommend studying the documentation and a few tutorials. Many of the questions you ask are pretty basic.

You can use raycasting, see this demo:

Can you post a screenshot? That wall of text is impossible to understand.

You probably need Date plugin:

construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/date
Using "every X seconds" to track hours and even days is a very bad idea.
