when a loop is done?

hi,

when a loop is done? i create a random map by using the steps below. now i want to replace 2,3 created sprites AFTER the loop - e.g with pick random sprite1 instance

-on start of layout

--system: for "x"from to to int(sprite2.width / 16) - 1

---system: for "y" to int(sprite2.height / 16) - 1 System create Object "fam1" on layer 0 at 0,0

fam1: set position to ((Sprite2.X - Sprite2.Width / 2) + (loopindex("x") * 16+ 7) , (Sprite2.y - Sprite2.Height / 2) + (loopindex("y") * 16 + 7)

thanks

Add a sub event (under start of layout, not under the loop) and use the system action: Pick random instance?

already tried that... nothing happened

see screenshot attached.

thanks

move all the sub events over 1 and make 1 under

tried some other conditions - all are working fine except the pick instance.

any idea?

thanks

trultz

same result.... i think the problem is "pick a random instance"

thanks

found a workaround... at least for me it looks like a workaround....

i've to add a action "wait 1 seconds" and then run the "pick a random instance" then it works good...

cant understand why i need to wait 1 second..... do i need to increase the 1 second if the double for loop takes longer????

thanks

I think this might have to do with the way C2 strangely picks "Created" objects right away, but "Spawned" ones a tick later. Can you try replacing the Spawn action with System - Create object - earth1.x earth1.y and see if you can do without the wait? Also, you can try a Wait of 0.01 seconds or whatever, I think that might work.

thanks for your help. system - create object without a wait action does not work, however waiting for 0.01 seconds works perfect!

strange, but now it works.

thanks

You might prefer a "wait 0", it will execute the remaining actions at the end of the event sheet, with no wait.

Seconded on the Wait 0.0. Matter of fact, when my picking goes wrong that is the first thing I add to see if it works.
