Restart group action

Hi guys!

I was reading this post: scirra.com/forum/restart-layout-game_topic50562_page2.html and could see that i'm not the only one who needs a "Restart group" action. Do any of you guys if there have come a solution yet?

I made following event:

On clicked "try again" -> reset global variables

                                  -> Go to layer "Game" (The same layer as before)

                                  -> And then is like I need a action here maybe a "reset group".

Have a nice evening everyone! :-)

I don't get what you want to do, but have you tried instead of Go to layout "Game".. go to a blank layout, and in that, set On start of layout >> Go to Game

maybe that can fix your problem

Hi Danuyos :-)

I have just tryed your suggestion with the layer, but that dosen't help Unfortunately :-(

I have made a Ghost Shooter game, where there is a counter so all the groups first become active after 5 sec - groups like movement, spawn and so on. When I die and I click the reset botton all groups are still active, so there is a little problem :( Therefore could it be great if there were some kind of reset group action, like there is reset global variables and reset layout.

On clicked "try again" -> System: Reset global variables to default    

                      -> System: Restart layout

Still dosen't work, but thanks for your suggestion Shinkan :-(

d.pr/i/5mjJ - here is a screenshot

I double checked that and it works. Resets all global variables and all groups to default state.

Maybe there's an issue with your event?

Could you share a *capx to see what's going on there?

Or maybe try

When you click "reset", reset global variables, then set all the groups inactive, and then go to layout

and also check your counter-set groups active , is that condition "if counter >=5 set group active?".. try =5 or add "once while true"... probably the engine keeps activating the group every tick after the "5" and thats messing with the groups

Hi again guys :-)

I have tryed to change a bit in the eventsheet, but could still not find a solusion :-(

But here is the Capx. dl.dropbox.com/u/84869704/The%20grp%20reset.capx the reset layout is event 48 - Thanks again guys! :-)

Time = 8

Time = 5

That's why it's not working. It counts time from start of your game not layout. So every time you restart your layout Time will never be 8 or 5 again because this value is not resetting.

Ah okay. Do you know if there is a way to let the whole evensheet reset when i tab on restart? Also the timer? :-)

No. The timer counts from begining of your game. Make a timer by yourself and then you could reset any time you want.

For a simple timer. Create new global variable "my_very_own_timer"

System: Every tick -> System: Add dt to my_very_own_timer

Thank you so much guys, your suggestions and support finally lead to the result I was looking for!

Have a nice day! :D
