You can try something like this:

Sprite1 overlapping Soldier
     System->Pick All Soldier
     Sprite2 overlapping Soldier
         System->Pick All Soldier
         Sprite3 overlapping Soldier
              System->Pick All Soldier
              Sprite4 overlapping Soldier
                   System->Pick All Soldier
                   Sprite5 overlapping Soldier   -> (Destroy all sprites)
[/code:3t7plozd]

But it's easier to add Sprites 1-5 to a family and do this:
[code:3t7plozd]
SpriteFamily overlapping Soldier
     System Compare two values: SpriteFamily.pickedCount=SpriteFamily.count  -> SpriteFamily destroy
[/code:3t7plozd]

You need to use System For Each (ordered) event.

For example:

System For Each Soldier (order by Soldier.attackDamage) descending -> Soldier set position to (X=50+loopindex*100, Y=500)

This will arrange Soldiers on the screen by their attack damage, strongest first.

Add all enemies to a family. Add all objects you want to be spawned to another family.

For example if you want to give your enemies 30% chance to drop some object when they die:

EnemyFamily -> On destroyed

random(100)<30 -> EnemyFamily: spawn ObjectFamily

You have multiple object types, and you want them to spawn random objects?

Add them all to a family.

Then do the same, only with the family:

Pick random instance of Family -> Family: spawn Family

.CurValue, CurX and similar expressions only work with "Array-For Each element" loop. (But Array-For Each loops can't be stopped)

When you are using System-For loop, those expressions don't work.

You need to use Array.At() as in my example above.

It finds all results - 2, 3, 4, 5

If you want to stop after the first element found, change the loop to this:

For x=0 to Array.width-1

.... left(Array.at(loopindex), 10)="PlayerSkin" -> set result to loopindex

.... -> Stop loop

You don't need regex. You can use expressions like left, right, find, mid etc.

No, sorry, I am not going to waste time trying to guess what could be wrong with your game.

If you need help, you have to post your capx here and provide proper description of the problem.

Yeah, you need to make custom particles with sprite, bullet and fade behaviors.

Sprites are slower than Particles plugin, but unless you are spawning thousands of them, it should be fine.

And of course you should be able to mirror, rotate, change frames, bounce and do lots of other cool things with individual particle sprites.

You can change the angle for Particles object. I believe if you set it to 180, it should have the same effect as mirroring.
