How do I kill characters off one by one ?

Say if i want to kill a character, via pressing the key "x"; how to i prevent it from killing all the respawned characters at the same time?

As in I would like to kill them off one by one!

Any help is appreciated(:

You need a method to refer to that one particular object.

Either by its UID, or by some instance variable given to them, and then use the "pick" method to pick your object.

A simple

on x pressed

system pick random character

destroy character

would do.

If you want to specify which character to destroy first, you should create a condition so the computer knows which one you mean.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Yeah, the difficulty i'm facing is creating a condition to so that the computer kills the earliest spawned character.

I've been trying to figure out the UID and IID. But i'm still stumped. Heh

There are probably much easier solutions,

but workaround for that could be something like this:

Give the character an instance variable "number"

character on created

character set variable "number" = character.count

character on destroyed

pick all characters

(- for each character)

character set variable "number" - character.number-1

on x pressed

system pick by comparison - character.number = 1

character destroy

Yes, there is an easier solution:

[your triggering event]

--pick enemy with enemy.iid = 0: destroy

Yes, there is an easier solution:

[your triggering event]

--pick enemy with enemy.iid = 0: destroy

You're quite right..

I knew there was something like that, haha..

woohoo. thankyou mindfaQ for the tip, it works! and thanks to everyone who replied.
