How do I shoot only 1 bullet per enemy?

+Enemy: animation "Attack" is playing

+Enemy: frame = 2

+ForEach Enemy

+Trigger Once

-> Spawn bullet

Only 1 instance of enemy is shooting one bullet per Attack Animation 2nd frame. The other enemy instances are all shooting 8-10 bullets each time they go into "Attack" anim 2nd frame.

I already tried putting "Trigger once" before the foreach. It doesn't work still.

What seens to be happening is that when any Enemy is in the 2nd frame of the animation, you tell all the enemies to spawn a bullet. Try removing the for each, only the specific enemy which is on frame 2 should spawn the bullet.

hmm, I thought the ForEach condition was meant to make the specified object's multiple instances to act independently from other. I thought my code meant that even if there is a situation wherein all instances are in Attack anim 2nd frame, they would still fire just 1 bullet each.

Anyway, I tried disabling the Foreach (but still with trigger once), each enemy only shoots 1 bullet. I'm not sure if this really fixes the problem, but the hitbox (spawned by each bullet and pinned to the bullet that spawned it) is only pinning for 1 enemy's bullets. I think this might be related to the original problem. Still trying different stuffs at the moment.

Could you upload a capx? makes it easier to see whats happening. Also tell exactly what you are trying to achieve and me or someone else might be able to help you.

I put one bullet enemy for each enemy, create instance id in both.

numerate with

for each bullet order by iid ===> bullet.id=bullet.iid

for each enemy order by iid ===> enemy.id=enemy.iid

and say:

when bullet.id = enemy.id ===> shoot

wen the bullet is out of te label or out your owner limits, you can stop it, and put in pos(-1000,-1000) for example.

if need to have the same nbr of enemies and the bullets.

I made a game in this way a work perfectly.

Have you solved the problem, I have the same trouble.

bangoo

I changed the order of trigger once (see below) and it has worked ever since. I don't know why it wasn't working like this back then.

+Enemy: animation "Attack" is playing

+Enemy: frame = 2

+Trigger Once

+ForEach Enemy

-> Spawn bullet

Also, another alternative for trigger once is to use "On frame changed" (which is a trigger condition), but it doesn't work if the animation frame is 0 (1st frame, zero-based) so if your frame is 1 or higher, use "on frame changed". It will surely spawn just 1 bullet

edit:

wow this brings back memories of this problem. this was one year ago
