For each + Every x seconds [RESOLVED]

Hello everyone,

I think I still don't understand that 'for each' fonction.

I'm trying to make 3 enemy instances fire every 2 seconds.

Here is what I've done :

For each 'EnemyName'

'EnemyName' is onscreen

     -Every 2 seconds      |    Set animation to "Fire"

That is very simple. But only one of the 3 enemies fire. Why? I really don't get it. I try to move and change the configuration of the events, if the "every X seconds" is used, it doesn't work.

Do you have an advice to resolve my issue?

Thanx !

You need it the other way round :

i.e. Every 2 seconds

     For Each EnemyName    Set Animation to Fire

That should work.

+ Every 2 seconds

++ for each EnemyName

+++ Enemy is on screen

---> EnemyName set animation to fire

;) or you do it with wait

Edit: Damn plinkie :D

haha nice!

Why do you need for each?

newt

True.

Spot the pro newt

If add enemies as a family you don't need for each do you?

Just use enemyfamily

You don't need a ForEach even if it's not in a family. You can just do Every 2 seconds > Sprite Set Animation "Fire" if it was just a Sprite object. There could still be a reason that he's using ForEach though maybe, who knows!

Thank you that work!

I wanted to use the 'every X seconds' after the 'each' in order to use a random time (every (random(1,2) seconds) so they don't fire at the same time.

But I can just use a random wait action instead.

newt I need the 'each' because they also fire bullet from their gun.

Thanx again!!

—, really, I've been doing it all wrong then lol.

If you want that they don?t shoot at the same time, insert into the for each a system wait.

This only works if your objects have the same names though. I rarely have objects that are duplicated with the same names.

We have a timer behavior.

I created a app (weekly grocery list generator with recipes) and had to create ingredient list and used for each ingredient. Many many lines. Now I can Build same list in few lines using families and same name, different UID. Sick how easy C2 is when you know how to use the functionality/features.
