Layout Restart, Spawning Powerups

Hey everyone!

So, my question today is.

When I use Keyboard on Press R > System > Restart Layout.

All of the power-ups will spawn right behind the bricks. Here is a picture of what I am talking about.

Now, on the normal start of this Layout everything works fine and those Power-ups only spawn after the blocks have been destroyed.

You should reset global variables to their defaults on a start of the layout. That's my guess.

I'm guessing you have 'brick: on destroyed -> spawn powerup' so when you restart the level it's destroying all the bricks and spawning the powerups. You should use a variable to track if the level is finished and don't spawn the powerups when the level is over.

Okay, I have absolutely no idea what I am doing so I kind of threw this all together.

I created a new global and called it NewLayoutCheck = 0

On R Pressed > System > Reset Global Variables

On Layout Start set NewLayoutCheck to 1

On Brick destroy and NewLayoutCheck not equal to 0 > Spawn Powerup.

I think there may have been a simpler way of doing this but who knows. For now it works! Yaah.
