  • Can anyone help me on how to spawn different sprites using one global variable?

    for example

    if Global combo is greater than 1 but less than 6 it will spawn a sprite however if combo is greater than 7 but less than 12 a different sprite will spawn and so on whenever i tried it nothing spawns..

  • You need another object to spawn the sprite on to it, or else you have to use the System>create function. Your example lacks an event: When or why?

    Example:

    System>every 2 sec>Add 1 to Global combo

    System>Global combo greater than 1>System> create sprite on layer 1 on X,Y

  • actually its for scoring

    Keyboard button press> add 2 to combo

    If combo is greater than 1 > spawn sprite 1

    If combo is greater than 6 > spawn sprite 2

    note that both combo this events are separate

    so if Global combo is greater than 1 but less than 6 it will spawn a sprite on button press however if combo is greater than 7 but less than 12 a different sprite will spawn and so on whenever i tried it nothing spawns..

  • Need to pick the spawning sprite.

    Use the System condition > Is between values, to compare.

  • should i add 2 separate compare conditions on the sprites events?

    like

    On "W" press> If combo is greater than 1>If combo is less than 6 spawn sprite 1

    On "W" press> If combo is greater than 6>If combo is less than 12 spawn sprite 2

  • It won't work correctly because 6 is allready greater than one.

    On "W" press> If combo is less than 6> spawn sprite 1

    On "W" press> If combo is equal or greater than 6> spawn sprite 2

    But what will spawn the sprite? Use another sprite for this

    On "W" press> If combo is less than 6>Sprite 3 spawn sprite 1

  • im using 3 sprites if the combo value is greater 1 but less than 6 sprite 1 will spawn sprite 2

    if the combo value is greater 6 but less than 12 sprite 1 will spawn sprite 3

    what im trying to get help is how to make a condition where sprite 2 will spawn only if the value of combo is for example greater than 1 but less than 6 for sprite 3 the value of combo should be greater than 6 but less than 12 and so on for different sprites

  • This worked like a charm for me

  • fav.me/db4iwbh

    like this? it dosent work for me

  • How does Combo's value changes on your set? You can see an event with time to do that. maybe this is your thing. Also, your 7 is idle now. Make that equal or greater than 7 and less than 13

  • my combos increases by two each successful button press on a specific time and will reset back to 0 on an unsuccessful button press like a timing based game i also changed it like you suggested but the sprite spawning is still the sprite 2 not sprite 3

  • i guess is really that hard to do

  • As nickar said, it is not know how you exactly increase/decrease 'combo'.

    Even not with that weird explanation (to me) above. So lets (again) gamble.

    If Combo gets its value with some logic, then the spawning works as expected.

    You can drag the green one to alter the overlap condition.

    So, what i miss (besides a clear .capx) ?

  • here's a pic on how i get scores and how the combo meter increases

  • So the question changed now to "Why is 'combo' always zero?" ?

    Press W, and when sprite 4 overlaps sprite 3, you subtract combo from combo ?
