SOLVED Need help with destroy sprites on start of layout

Hello

I have global variable 'Oponents'

On layout i have 100 sprites called 'Enemies'

now

When on start of layout global variable 'oponents' is 10

game at start should leave only 10 sprites other 90 should be destroyed randomly

when i start layout with 60 oponents

at start 40 sprites should be destroyed and 60 should stay etc.

mmm, u can do:

Start of layout -> Repeat Enemies.count - oponents

Pick random(0, enemies.count)nth instance -> enemies.destroy

mmm, u can do:

Start of layout -> Repeat Enemies.count - oponents

Pick random(0, enemies.count)nth instance -> enemies.destroy

lets see

when i have 100 sprites on layout and on global variable 'oponents' i have 40

you suggest from counted enemies (100) substract oponents (40)

in that way on layout will be 60 enemies

should be 40

no, u destroy (100 - oponents(40)) = 60

no, u destroy (100 - oponents(40)) = 60

thats incorreect

60 should be destroyed

because global variable tells 'oponents' is 40

so 40 should stay in game

that is what im saying

You destroy 100 - 40 = 60

So u destroy 60, then 40 will stay

that is what im saying <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

You destroy 100 - 40 = 60

So u destroy 60, then 40 will stay

ok lets try

this is correct? because dont works

yes, i think that should work, try to get the int of the random number:

int(random(enemy.count))

changed

enemies on start of layout is more than 3

give me one moment, I create a new project and I try it

give me one moment, I create a new project and I try it

sure

I can't destroy the number desired, I dont know why. I tried using "pick random instance" inside the loop. I dont know why is this happening. Maybe the enemy count is done when all the loop is finished, but that dont make sense :/

The trick is the delete doesn't complete until you leave the top-level event, so you actually need to flag your deleted objects to eliminate them from the loop.
