  • I should also specify that the points themselves shouldn't be in any specific order, just whichever is closest to Sprite 2 instance.

    You should've mentioned this from the beginning.

    The easiest solution would probably be attaching 4 invisible "Anchor" sprites to these image points - you can do this manually in layout editor, add them as children to the hierarchy.

    Then you can pick the nearest Anchor sprite and replace it with Sprite2:

    Sprite1 On collision with Sprite2
    Sprite1 Pick all children Anchor
    Anchor pick nearest to (Sprite2.x, Sprite2.y)
    ... Sprite2 set position to Anchor
    ... Sprite1 add child Sprite2
    ... Anchor destroy
    

    Alternatively, if you want to do this with image points, you will have to loop through all image points, check which ones are unoccupied, and which one is the nearest to Sprite1 - the code for this will be pretty complicated.

  • FileChooser doesn't work on mobile. You will probably need to install a third-party Cordova plugin, like this one. And the app will require permissions to access files and folders.

  • Yes, your event may look something like this:

    Origin image point has index 0. Image points 1-4 are for attaching instances of Sprite2.

  • There are a few options:

    1. Create an instance variable - AttachmentPoint=1. Use it to identify which image point to attach Sprite2 to, and increment it by +1

    2. If attaching with hierarchy you can simply check the number of children on the parent sprite.

    3. You can loop through all 4 image points and check if any of them is not overlapping Sprite2. Use "System Is overlapping point" condition.

  • I suggest using MoveTo behavior instead.

    Sprite Move to X:random(grid.BBoxLeft, grid.BBoxRight), Y:random(grid.BBoxTop, grid.BBoxBottom)

  • With the official plugin use "CSV parse" action to load the table into an array. Then access the values in the array using "for each" loop or array.at(x,y) expressions.

    You can create a couple of helper functions, for example:

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • Put "Every 0.2s" as a parent condition. And nest other events under it. This way the engine will perform the picking only 5 times per second and not on every tick.

  • If you have more than one tower, your code will not work.
