If you are using physics, simply set the X position to the same value every tick. So that its basically only evaluating the Y position.

It takes time for people to respond, no need to bump multiple times a day. Give it some time.

Another simple way (although not the cleanest) is to give a variable to the UI element and the player when its created eg: "owner"

Then do a "pick all health bars"

if: "owner = player" then

subtract health

It will pick all of the health bars (probably 4 max depending on your game) and then only subtract health from the one that matches the player that got hit.

I don't think its much a performance hit.

Its kinda like the UID method.

You can use Lerp to achieve this.

Check out this example.

Adjust the "MovementSpeed" variable to adjust how fast the object is moving while following.

Will this help?

zeropad(number, digits)

Pad number out to a certain number of digits by adding zeroes in front of the number, then returning the result as a string. For example, zeropad(45, 5) returns the string "00045".

Yeah you could simply do a quick test if a spot is taken or not by examining what's under the mouse at all times. So your game would always know if the space is taken or not before the player clicks.

system every tick

mouse is over "sprite"

set global variable "taken" to 1

if "taken" = 0 then allow player to place piece where they clicked.

a massively multiplayer online zelda-esque 2D top down Action RPG with all of the modern RPG elements like crafting, detailed skill tree's, auction houses etc.

There would be towns that would get invaded by monsters and you'd have to drive them off and hold them as a community or they would get over run (even permanently)

Some quests would be created any time by fellow players and can be picked up by any other player like a bounty board.

Dynamic world events that everyone can take part in.

Vehicles!

and amazing sprite graphics like any of the old classics

Then rotate the object as well to face the direction you want.
