How do i limit spawning objects

So right now i have

system > Every 1 second

System > pick random instance spawn

System create object Monster on layer 0 at floor(random(x,y)) , floor(random(x,y))

How do i make it stop spawning after a certain amount has been spawn?

Check Sprite.Count

i dont quite understand.. :C

im still new to construct 2 can you please explain?

add a sub-event for 'every 1 second'

"system -> compare two values -> monster.count, less or equal, (the limit of its amount you want)

so this means system will only spawn that object if its count is less or equal than your determined amount

okay i tried that but it doesn't work

i don't know if i did that correctly

here's a screen shot.

you did the "compare two values" event false. the think you did is "greater or equal". change it to "less or equal"

okay i i changed it but it still doesnt limit the spawning.

i feel really confused at the moment sorry :/

My bad, sorry

Make "compare two values" like this, not as a sub event

it should work fine now

Oh WOW thanks alot it worked!

You're welcome. Good luck.

Is there also a way for me to make it not too spawn anymore after a specified amount?

You could create a global variable MonstersCreated

on monster created - system add 1 to MostersCreated

and in the spawnevent add a condition

system compare two values : MonstersCreated < 50 (or whatever the maximum amount of monsters you'd like to be created is)

Can you please screen shot what you just explained :/

i dont quite understand

heres my capx and at the bottom is what i tried to do
