Creating multiple copies of the enemy

Hello.

I've faced with such problem: there is an enemy in the game, composed of many sprites (gun and other accessories). The enemy comes from certain point on the map, for example, every 3 seconds. At the beginning all enemies go as expected, but when the number of enemies increases, their weapons begins to copy. Imagine that - the enemy has 1 gun, when number of enemies become more and every enemy already has 2 guns, then 3 guns, etc....

Example .cap file with enemies - http://www.fileqube.com/shared/GzciJxcYp1503977

Question:

1. How to create many copies of the enemy, that each of them would have only 1 gun (or something else)?

2. How to create the same copies of one sprite at the same time from different locations on the map? (because I have only one point which creates enemies)

If you click your Sprite "Sprite" then Group>Container then Add Object and add the Gun (called R in your cap) all should be fine.

Edit cap is below.

It works! Thanks!

Here's a .cap with random spawn points.

Basically creates a random number every 3000 m/s. It checks for each random number and spawns an enemy at a different position for 0,1,2.

Took me a while to sort out as I'm still new to construct ways, but it was good practice.

Minor,

Thank you again! You helped me very much!

It would be easier to do enemy spawning using "Pick a random object" under CREATE_01's conditions. That will pick a random instance of CREATE_01. Then you just create the enemy at the location of the spawn point, like this: Enemy spawning

linkman2004,

Your variant is very good too! Thanks for help!

Ah much simpler than my solution. Thanks. Still I played around and learned new bits and bobs.
