Yeah, weaponUIDI is a string, you need an integer to pick by UID.

Why are you doing this with scripting anyway? It's so much easier with events - "System pick random instance"

the CSV plugin by REX can send data to Google spreadsheets online.

I don't think it can. You are mistaking it with something else.

You can download Rex_CSV2Array and Rex_CSV2Dictionary addons here:

construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/plugin-sdk-10/erens-ported-plugins-modules-159391
But they also can't send data to Google sheets, I don't know any plugins that do that.

You can do this with a blend mode. Check out this demo:

the scope is off the more you move away from the center

Check the parallax setting on the layer. Or this can be caused by the lens effect.

Sadly, there are way too many suggestions there and many of good suggestions go unnoticed.

Perhaps it would be better to wait for Ashley to purge and start a new cycle.

Maybe this example will help:

See the official "Blend Modes" template, you can find it in C2 too.

Put the scope and a large black sprite on a separate layer. Change the blend mode on the scope. Make sure to enable "Force own textures" on the layer.

To make certain traits more rare, all I've done is added more of the same options to the column

I suggest using the probability tables feature of AdvancedRandom plugin. You can define multiple values with different weights. To make things easier, you can store the entire probability table as a JSON string in the array. I prefer adjusting the weights so that they all add up to 100%. For example:
[[5,"Super-Abundant"],[20,"Abundant"],[20,"Rich"],[30,"Common"],[25,"Barren"]]

Use AdvancedRandom.weighted expression to return a random value. In the example above, "Super-Abundant" option will have 5% chance to be picked.

You can store such probability strings for each planet type.

Although I would suggest using a JSON or multuple JSONs instead of the array. In many cases JSON is much more convenient to work with in C3. You can come up with a good structure which will be easy to read and update. It can be something like this:

{ "Ice": { "RichnessChances": [[5,"Super-Abundant"],[20,"Abundant"],[20,"Rich"],[30,"Common"],[25,"Barren"]], "HabitableChance": 10, "Resources": "ice,water,glass" }, "Desert": { "RichnessChances": [[1,"Super-Abundant"],[10,"Abundant"],[20,"Rich"],[40,"Common"],[29,"Barren"]], "HabitableChance": 30, "Resources": "sand,iron,copper" } }

I tried with the bullet... but the movement becomes random... sometimes it goes up a lot and sometimes the ball goes down... I want it to move at the same height, at the same distance, and at the same speed.

On collision with the ground, set bullet speed to a fixed value and bullet angle of motion to 270 degrees. It will go up, then drop down again with gravity.
