[ Solved ] How do I use system repeat?

Hi there,

I have 2 sprites, first sprite spawn sprite two every 1 second, and I want the action just do 4 times, means just spawn the second sprite 4times, but when I add the system ->repeat count 4, it not works, it keep spawning, never stop, so how to spawn object in a given times? thanks

Uh, Try "System-Trigger Once"

usman Haq trigger once is not work

How about

You could do something like this:

phimaka - perhaps instead of using a global variable updated every tick you would be better using :

although perhaps I should have called the group "less than five missiles on screen at once method"

edited the above capx - perhaps a bit OTT ?

RamPackWobble The way your doing it is a better programming practice.

try using a variable.. the repeat X times.. its just gonna respawn as many missile as you tell it to multiplied by 4

in order to stop spawning it... after it spawned 4 times.. considering there are no other similar sprites on screen... you can do a condition check... that counts how many sprites of the same type are on screen... Example :

Condition - when mouse click -(or every 1 second how you want to be)

- if sprite.count<4

Action create actor sprite at x y

that means every 1 second if the missle count is less then 4 will automatically create another 1 till are 4 on screen... hope it helped you...

you can disable the condition triggering by placing it in a group and enable the group when you want it to happen...

lets say if Spacebar is pressed Set group shootmissile active

if sprite.count - greater or equal with 4 ... Set group shootmissile disabled

you can also do it by using a boolean its same thing.. just you'd have to say when spacebar is pressed set boolean to true...

and when the count of the sprites is equal or greater to 4 set boolean to false

now if you want the sprite when spawned to have a delayed space between them if you dont know how to count the space in pixel.. you could calculate it visual by adding a wait period... of 0.5 lets say and let the whole creating system you just created to happen every tick.. with a delay of 0.5 between each creation of a sprite... that way youl have all sprites spawning at different spaces from each other... and you wont have to worrie about them overlapping...

hope it helped you, and i hope i was in the area of your question. please add [ Solved ] in title of the topic if its already Solved laoniustudio
