Spawn sprite on random enemy death

Good afternoon all,

i am currently trying to get a sprite to spawn on the death of an enemy, however i have 10 of the same enemy and i do not want the sprite spawning on the death of every enemy.

is there any work around i can implement for this?

Thanks in advance for any help :)

try using "for each" sprite > play death animation

Hi Draven,

I may be interpreting this wrong, but im not sure this will execute the desired function.

I have 10 monsters, i require the event sheet to spawn a sprite on the monsters death, but not every monster, this is the part im struggling with, have a random monster spawn the sprite.

set var -> var X = random(1,6)

on destroy / death => spawn object   

extra condition for on destroy: var X = 3

There is now a 1 in 5 chance the spawn will happen, ... configure as desirable, with a global var, you can make it a level thing (auto increase or decrease etc)

:)

Hi lennaert,

i have tried to implement your solution, however it is not working.

In the events sheet, i have the below set up ;

Event 1 = Monster Health < or = 0 / Destroy

                                    Set PistolSpawn to Random(2,3)

Event 2 =(condition 1)Monster on destroyed / Spawn Pistol on layer 0

        (condition 2)Pistolspawn = 3

The instance variable is setup as a PistolSpawn, value starts at 0.

Thank you for the help guys

Apologies.. to the top!

Hi there :)

change your random to random(2,4)

with random(2,3)    the 3 never falls

It would be probably even better to use choose(2,3) instead of random here.

If you do want to use random, make sure you use: floor(random(2,4)), for random(2,3) will never reach three and will give values inbetween 2 and 3 like 2,5678 when you really only want a value 2 or 3..

Yup totally true,   

you could also int(random(1,4))

works well too

Various variations :)

Hi all, int(random(1,4)) worked a charm.

If possible can you advise what this solution is actually carrying out?

Just so i know for future reference?

Thanks all!

int turns the number that's between the brackets into an integer.

in the manual under system expressions, you'll find more usefull expressions and what they do..
