filling the screen with a sprite every X pixels

Hi all.

Hope someone could tell me the simplest method of automatically creating a sprite every X pixels until the screen is filled.

I want to affect each sprite differently once all the sprites are placed, so a tile map is not an option for me..

Performance impact due to many sprites is not an issue in this case.

Humble thanks as always!

Something like this?

For "x"=0 to LayoutWidth/Sprite.Width

...For "y"=0 to LayoutHeight/Sprite.Height -> Create Sprite at (loopindex("x")*Sprite.Width, loopindex("y")*Sprite.Height)

Origin point in the sprite should be at (0,0)

Thankyou for your response, I think I am executing this incorrectly as I only get a row of sprites along one row of X and Y axes..

I'm not too smart on "For" loops so I guess I am doing something wrong.. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very Sad">

Delete "Create object" action from event #1

Create a sub-event (press B) under #1 and move event #2 into this sub-event.

Thankyou, graphics are my strong point, coding skills is most definitely not!

Now as I understand, this is now an infinite loop? do I need to terminate it somehow?

Apologies for so many questions..

No, that's not an infinite loop. If your sprite is tiny and the layout is big, this can be a very long loop, but still not infinite.

Ok! Thanks so much for your help!
