Perfect! That helped a bunch.

Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure how I can best word this, but here goes...

Lets say I have the UID of an object stored in a global variable. How would I go about setting the X and Y positions of another object to match the position of the object that I have stored the UID of..?

So in other words, how do I move one sprite to the location of another via it's UID rather than the sprite itself?

Really liking the look of your game, Rockwell.

Anyway, screenshot time. I've been working on the first boss for Hobogame (that's a placeholder title).

Squidbears are pretty dangerous from what I hear.

Max Scoville would be proud!

Hello, I'm Sean Noonan, a video game designer living in Montreal. I've worked at a couple of video game developers for just shy of a decade and am currently a designer at Ubisoft Montreal (Watch_Dogs).

Though I've been in the industry for some time I've never tried my hand at doing anything independently. Construct 2 seemed like a good place to start and after discovering it a month ago I can't imagine using anything else :)

I'm working on a little top down shooter called "One Day From Retirement". I blog about it here: http://onedayfromretirement.blogspot.com/

I've been delving into the Scirra Arcade to see what everyone has been putting out, and I'm pretty impressed. A lot of originality out there and a good level of polish on many of the games. Hopefully I'll finish my game and join your ranks soon :)

If anyone is interested in my Construct 2 progress or AAA news I keep a pretty up to date social networking presence on twitter, here:

I was hoping there was some way to do this too.

Hopefully it's something that will be possible in future updates.

Something I'm working on... early days yet.

I have a scenario where a solid is pathfinding between two points, however I want to ignore another solid that is near the ideal path between the two points, so that the solid doesn't attempt to avoid it.

Here's the scenario:

A guard is walking from point to point, but there is an explosive barrel alongside his path.

Obviously I don't want him to path around it whilst he is patrolling (as I want to be able to shoot it and kill him). However I need the barrel to be solid so that nobody can walk through it.

Any ideas?

(Thanks in advance)!

I've been using Construct 2 about a week now, so I'm new to pathfinding, etc. I'm also a first time poster here!
