How to create my spawner system with less events?

Hey, wow, I post a lot here don't I? Anyways, I'm working on another game right now, and I do plan on buying the full version of Construct 2 within the next month or so. Until then, I'm working with the limited 100 events.

I have a spawn system, which basically creates a wave based on a global variable number. Each wave has exactly the same events, but with a different "every x number of seconds" variable.

Is there a way I can condense this into fewer events?

Project file download.

Instead of using 3 and 5 in Random(3,5), use two global variables and just set them depending on the level.

you could merge the top two events into one:

+every second

     >add 1 to systemtime

     >set wavetype to ceil(systemtime/25)

Also you could merge all the enemy objects into just one object, with different animations, and a variable 'type' which makes them act differently.

That way you could just do:

+pick a random spawner instance

     ->spawn enemy

     ->set enemy.type to spawner.spawnnumber

Good ideas! I'll try them out when I get home, thanks!

Uhn. This topic is too old but I have one question.

How did you make a variable without value/<varies>? Your spawn system helped me a lot but I can't create a variable without value.
