Stop bullet at specific location

Hello,

I currently have this going:

Event:

Enemy > Bullet distance _> 190

System > every 5 seconds

Actions:

Enemy > bullet speed to 0

Enemy > spawn Bullet on layer 1

Now the problem is I am spawning the enemies at specific locations on X, but the system only checks the bullet distance every 5 seconds. However, I do want the Enemy to fire every 5 seconds, AND the Enemy bullet speed to keep at 0 after 190 pixels travelled.

How can I get this done? Right now the enemies are stopping at random heights.

Maybe it would be a better option to use a Timer behavior on the enemy instance instead of using the "every X seconds" system condition ?

Can you provide a capx ?

Like Coin-coin le Canapin says use timer much better

How would I go about applying the timer behaviour? My game is almost finished, can I also post some more info instead, what would you need?

set timer = 0 as global variable

system add dt to timer

system timer =>5

set timer to 0

then do this, or do that or whatever

Hello,

thanks for your quick reply.

I tried following your instructions, but can't find 'add dt' anywhere. Where is it located? And how do I go about combining it with the code I showed in my original post?

dt is a system expression:

[quote:ozionj0k]dt

Return delta-time according to the object's own timescale. See Delta-time and framerate independence for more information.

But I don't still really understand what effect you want to achieve. That said, english isn't my native language so…

---> enemy : set speed to 0

It would be easier to help you if we can have a link to your actual project.

Check my capx, is it what you want to do ?

Here is demo for you how to use timer and dt

I assume his enemies move with the bullet behavior and aren't shooting bullets.

coin I have only done this demo to show how he can use timer and not about enemy or anything else
