How do I limit the number of objects in a layout?

Hi, I got some help from theubie in this post about how to limit sprites.

but I am still having a little trouble. I have added the event "sprite.count greater than 2"

No what is the next step? what is the action that will prevent further spawns of that sprite?

Thanks!

Plz, show how you spawn.

Right now I have --> System Every random(1,5) seconds --> Create object sprite on layer 0 at (0,0)

techkenb

add another condition to the every random seconds that says sprite.count Less Than MaxSprites

(where MaxSprites is the number you want to limit at)

This will then only create a new instance of Sprite if there is less than the maximum number you want to allow.

You don't need the Sprite.count greater than 2...

ok I will give it a try thanks!

AllanR, that worked great thanks so much. I have another question. I have some balloons that move within a box and collide with the walls. I want them to stay upright in the box, well no more than 20 degrees upright. Right now they bounce all over the walls and some of them end up upside down. (kinda strange for a balloon don't you think?) well let me know what direction I should proceed on this.
