    As I’m not an engineer in IT or mathematician. I would need a tutorial on how to shoot with a precise angle. Trying to become an engineer now, it will be too late for me. I would need a tutorial for that. When you just have to have a node that say shoot by an angle. making this by yourself with math formula, it’s mind blowing weird. Do you know somebody or something that can show me a complete and clean explanation how to do this? Thank you very much

    How to save an added tag

    You need to save and load the array. When loading the array, you must reapply the tags. Let's start with saving and loading. After modifying the array (it should now contain all the tags you need), you can trigger the Modify Save File behavior and save the entire array. When the scene starts, you can trigger Load from Save File with the same key you used in the modify save file behavior. Now you can load the array, but you must add the tags back, otherwise all the work you did for saving and loading was for nothing. Grab the loaded value from the load from save file behavior, and plug it into the Modify Tag behavior. There is an option to set the tags of the object (or append tags) which takes in an array.

    A better approach would be to utilize the screen behaviors to move between images. This allows things to persist instead of the entire scene resetting every time.

    No I never had the need to do anything like this, but if I'm understanding this correctly, you want the image to clamp to the screen's boundaries when the image is larger than the screen. There's no built-in way to do this. The easiest thing I can think of is moving the image to the player every frame (Frame Event --> Move to Object) and then using the Clamp Value behavior. You can clamp the x and y position of the image as it moves and restrict it to a rectangular area. You would have to account for the dimensions of the image and the screen.

    @IAmPotat Hey, So you could use an attribute system to set when the player is in a certain direction. For example, create an attribute in an object’s menu settings called “Direction“. When the player is facing to the right (or doing anything that makes them face right) set the Direction to “Right”. If left for any reason, set it to “Left”. When you go to move the player, Get Attribute, and If attribute = Right, move the player in the positive X axis, and If attribute = Left, move player along the negative X axis. This is one of many ways. Behaviors Used Set Attribute Get Attribute If Move by

    @MrAeon1111 There are two ways. Behaviors that don't have anything attached to the top are triggered when the scene starts. We call these root behaviors. You can have your Set Attribute behaviors be root behaviors. In the editor, you can define object attributes from the selected objects like shown in the screenshot below.
