Hi In my tower defence game i have an event that starts with 4 ships and every time one is destroyed 2 more ships spawn. Each time a ship is destroyed 1 is added to a global variable named counter and then when the counter reaches 100 for example ships stop spawning.

What I would like to do is to trigger a new set of events once all ships are destroyed and no more are being spawned. Can anyone advise the best way to do this?

Originally I had the new events set to when the counter reached a certain amount, but that's not precise enough.

Any thoughts/help greatly appreciated.

How about using two variables for keeping track of how many are currently on screen, and deactivating groups to choose what events should run?

My suggestion: EnemySpawnLimit.capx
