tower defense upgrade problem..

I have created a upgrade button for my tower defense game and sucessfully made upgradeble turrets to increase firepower. But i found something faulty, Once I upgraded the tower, ALL the other same turrets on the screen get upgraded. How do i fix this? I want only one turret to be upgraded.

Is it a button/tower ?

tower. Once i upgrade one tower, all turrets of the same type get upgraded.

How many buttons do you have ?

An option where (on mouse click rocket turret, spawn another object (the button) then, on button clicked, change animation frame to 1 (To change the appearence of the turret) )

So each turret has one button.

Give both an instance variable 'id'. Give them the same value, as some kind of identification.

Turret 1 & his button gets an 'id' with value 1.

Turret 2 & his button gets an 'id' with value 2.

On button clicked, select the turret with the same id, do your stuff.

But it is much much easyer if you use containers. Bring turret & button in a container.

Then, on creating a turret it also creates a button.

From now on, if the button is selected, also right turret is selected.

can you send a capx file to demonstrate this? I have no idea what containers are or the code.

I cant do better than this:

this made it even worse, now the turret instantly made a million copies of itself once placed down...

By the way, the turret is actually connected via a turretbase.

Generally speaking, when you click your button, you will need to "pick" your tower to be upgraded with conditions, so that your upgrade action only applies to the picked tower. There are many ways to pick, depending on how your project is set up.

A safe way is to pick by UID, which you can save to a variable as an action when you select a tower to begin with. I recommend storing this in an instance variable in the upgrade button. Let's call it SelectedTower.

On tower selected (on clicked/touched?) - Set instance variable Button.SelectedTower to Tower.UID

On upgrade button clicked,Pick tower by UID Button.SelectedTower - Do upgrade tower action

how much will the valuable of the instance variable be?

also, how exactly did you form that code? What blocks do i need to place together in order for it to work?

this made it even worse, now the turret instantly made a million copies of itself once placed down...

Whatever dude.

How to use containers and how to use instance variables. Again.

I guess all the hope is gone? :c

Why so ? Did you open my example ?
