Its important to note that I have actually used the technique successfully to count the total number of actors. It's just when I count based on the value of the random attribute it seems to go berserk

Each actor has the attribute self.random set to random(0,1).

Here's some constrain stuff I coincidently posted yesterday in the 'spare code' thread: (there's an offset just like you want in there)

constrain (self.position.y) to (scene.your_actor_y)-10

Make two game attributes:

You need 2 Scene Attributes (Both Real)

change attribute

I create 2 atributes in the game, position X and position Y, then i constrain the starship position x and y to the game atributes i've created.

4. Device.screen.size check attribute.

Some spare constrain experiments:

So for an alpha channel fade - make an attribute, let's call it 'fader', no, let's call it 'Darth Fader' - we want to interpolate the alpha channel up (from transparent to opaque) - so set 'Darth Fade

Change attribute game.StartX to self.Position.X [put this at the top of the rules list]

---- Change Attribute: [self.SwipeSpeed] To [( self.SwipeSpeed *.96)+(( game.Mouse.Position.X - self.oldX )/( self.Time - self.oldTime )*.04)]

The issue is that you're choosing a random value for a single game attribute that all of the instances are referring to. As soon as the scene loads, game.RandomColor will be set to 1, 2, 3, or 4, and

Found this - another member typing similar things. looks like he was advised to do the save game attribute with incremented ID and then spawn new actors based on this when loading: http://forums.games

If you preview the game in ipad mode for example, then the value of the attribute

I also use the trick of permanently keeping an actor template for displaying an attribute for a particular scene, so when I have a problem, I just copy the template, add the correct attribute, and th

I was wondering if anyone would know if it is possible to constrain just the top of an actor to another actor, so when one of them moves the end of the other actor would sway?

Yep, constrain the blood actor's x and y's too!
