When Enemy overlaping X for 3 seconds then..

Hey

Is it possible to make action when enemy overlaping object X for 3 seconds then destroy enemy?

thanks!

You can create an instance variable on the enemy sprite called "time".

In events set that:

Enemy is overlapping X object

+

every 1.0 second

Then >> Add 1 to "time" instance variable of the enemy

Finally:

If Enemy "Time" instance Variable is 3 = Destroy enemy

matriax

You can create an instance variable on the enemy sprite called "time".

thanks man

The limit for variables is 55, so you are fine!

(I'm joking of course )

Don't forget to reset the time variable when it's no longer overlapping! Unless you want the seconds to stack.

Another easy way to do this is to start a timer for 3 seconds on Enemy instance when sprites overlap.

On timer event - destroy the enemy.

If sprites no longer overlapping - stop the timer.
