Give sprite a variable and do this:

This will destroy Spriter once it's been alive for 1 second.

does 1 tick always = 1/60 of a second even on slow systems where the fps is 20 or 30?

Framerate/tickrate/FPS doesn't stay the same on every computer. Which is why you have to use "dt" in expressions so that your game is consistent.

thanks friends for your helps,

Another option is to use Fade, as discussed here: Destroy Sprite after X time

so if i use the Sine or Bullet behavious, it will not play the same on different computer with different fps?

will i have to use *dt on all of the figures in Sine or Bullet?

Behaviours already use 'dt', so don't worry about them.

The Fade behavior is great for that, because you don't need any other events for it. Just set the wait time to whatever you want, and the rest to 0

Yeah I agree with 7Soul and BlackHornet above....I Just use the Fade Behavior..

I used to wonder about this same function until I saw the Fade Behavior...

Not only does it work perfectly, has 2 built in timer functions and you can do a gentle fade out function if you like also but it also has the Built in Destroy after Fade options..Pretty simple.. I Think its there for that single reason..Maybe someone could add that to the Manual ...

Well spotted lads..and you beat my post to the line..Kudos!

I think its unanimous now right...

A very well designed built in Behavior.....

Its good to see how versatile Construct 2 behaviors are...

there is so much you can do with them if you play around some and be will ing to make mistakes...we all do....experimentation is the key!
