Plus when I work on a prototype actor that I have sorted by tags and I go to an actor on scene to edit when I back out I want the interface to not reset back to all actors and back to the top. I want

On destroy actor:

if your not going to use it again destroy it. If your gonna use it again later, move it off the scene or change the alpha to 0 so you dont have to spawn it again.

Would it be better to destroy an actor or just move him off the scene if he's not being used at all for the rest of the scene?

well make a timer 0,5 seconds and destroy

Yeah, I mentioned that above and that is what I did on some of my apps. I have 5 of my top selling apps that use a looped audio file and changes the pitch on the fly so I've been unable to find a wor

I want my player character actor to pickup an item upon collision, then throw it when i tap the screen/button.. I tried creating a boolean game attribute called PickupBomb set to false. I put some log

should have the Spawn behavior before the Destroy …

You could do after 5 seconds change color alpha to 0 or have it interpolate down to 0 that way you wont have to spawn or destroy.

When collides with player, after 5 seconds: destroy actor + spawn invisible brick (Alien) at current location.

The power up itself all it has is, on release change attribute game.powerup icon1 = 1, then destroy actor.

1- better editor with zoom, grid, snap, multiselect, on off layer (like PShop), coord info, etc

from what i have heard, GS runs the rule from bottom layer up.

Thanks @GLGames, I downloaded, pretty neat. I saw a video about this from tshirtbooth, but it doesn't explain what is going on here with the layer selection priority.

have you downloaded the layer template from DBA ? They have the layer template for free now :P

Does GameSalad always prefer to select the actors on layers further back when pressing on them? I would have thought it would be the other way around and give precedent to actors in the front.

Good thinking TTG; although I didn't think the Lighting effect too shabby at all personally! But for certain you couldn't apply the effect on it's own layer; your way you can, thanks.

You don't need those cheesy filters for that, just use a gradient over top using a lighter or brighter colour of the colour underneath..the play with the blend settings like Screen or Overlay...

They were on a different layer.I didnt know about layers till I found this problem.

i.e in my case iam making a game similar to doodke destroy, zombie drop an such how many levels do you think it can stand?
