How do I use "for each" in "every x seconds" ?

Hi, i want every 5 seconds to spawn 10 bullets. Each with a time-difference of 0.1 seconds.

I figured the easiest way how to do it, is the following: prntscr.com/6ujkhy

But for some reason it simply spawns the bullet only every 5 seconds. I know there are other ways solving it..but why does my solution not work? *confused*

thank you!

Off the top of my head (away from my desktop at the moment), my suggestion would be to add the Function object to your project, and create a function that is called as an action in that "every x seconds" event. Then, in the function event being called, you place the code for your For loop.

search for wait in loops..

.. you spawn 10 bullets every 5 sec..in one tick..on same x.y..check in debugger...

I guess you could try the giving something the timer-behaviour and do it like this:

create global variable "numberofbullets" and set it to 0

every 5 seconds

system set variable "numberofbullets" to 10

tart timer "bullet" for 0.1 seconds

on timer bullet

call function "shoot"

on function shoot -

spawn bullet

system subtract 1 from variable numberofbullets

• system compare variable "numberofbullets" > 0

> start timer "bullet for 0.1 seconds

But the loop thing is obviously much better.. haha
