[FUNCTION] What is the problem with this fuction?

Hi everyone!

Since I'm a designer and not a programmer, I'm often lost in programming logic (even in Construct!).

With the help of some users here, I was able to implement a Timer through Canvas, but I'm having difficulty placing the image of a Padlock on it, so that it changes animation and increases in size after the canvas object is destroyed (a juice to create some Game Feel).

The animation of the Canvas Timer is working well and ending on time, but the current schedule creates hundreds of lock objects.

Does anyone know how I should proceed for the function to create a single Padlock object and make it change animation, increase in size and be destroyed after 1 second?

Thank you all in advance!

You can't/shouldn't use Every X seconds, or Wait in a function. Use the Timer behavior.

Thanks for the tip! However, I can never make this behavior work well. :(

Do you have another suggestion?

If you can isolate out just the door mechanism, I can help sort it out. Timer is much more versatile than the system events.

This door routine is programmed to count 18 seconds after the player leaves the room and prevents him from entering again only during that time.

I did a test here using a global variable instead of the function, but the lockpad object continued to be created indefinitely during the 18 seconds of locking the door. :(

See if this helps. I can explain details, but see if this what you want first.

Thank you very much, dude!

I'll test it right now! :D
