  hi all,

  long time user and c2/c3 fan

  im currently looking for the runaway addon,

  but since its been awhile, is this behaviour still available?

  i have both c2 & c3 now but i remember how useful this behavior was so i looked for it again

  but the page is empty, any chance anyone could re-upload?

  or send an active link?

  many thanks in advance!

  I have run into this issue myself.

  Would be great feature, as sometimes things pile up along the way unintentionally

  +1 to your suggestion

  By the way, if it's possible for all three to be on screen at the same time, don't forget adding an event to stop the loop when that happens, or you'd have an endless loop..

  Regarding the STOP LOOP do you mean like this?

  (as it seems to work without it)

  I guess something like this should work:

  ... Also you should probably put the move along path in a seperate event "on path found"

  Thanks so much!

  That totally did the trick

  Heres what i came up with based on your help:

  Thanks for the feedback blackhornet

  I was going nuts trying to figure that one out

  I tried the other method mentioned but without much luck

  anything I could be doing wrong?

  You could use a variable off/on for each one (sprite1=0, sprite1=1, etc) and condition/sub-condition down:

  sprite1=0,sprite2=0, sprite3=0, choose(1,2,3)

  Else

  ---Sprite1=1,sprite2=0,sprite3=0, choose(2,3)

  Thanks again for the suggestions, I tried following your logic both ways without success

  Could you kindly take a look at my event sheet to see what i may be doing incorrectly?

  many thanks in advance!

  newt

  I would love to see how this is done with events

  and not have to rely on 3rd party plugins

  any chance you could repost your capx?

  tks!

  Many thanks for your 2 suggestions

  I'll give it a whirl

  Is there a specific expression you had in mind for the 2nd suggestion? (is on-scene) (x on layout)

  that sounds reasonably straightforward

  but if you could give me a nudge in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated

  tks again!

  Hi there,

  I wasnt sure how to phrase this question,

  so I will provide a screencap of my eventsheet along with the capx for reference

  Basically I have 3 sprites:

  Sprite_01, Sprite_02, Sprite_03

  They are all spawned from the same Origin:

  SpriteSpawner

  Im choosing between 3 numbers randomly by using: choose(1,2,3)

  which triggers which is spawned

  when spawned, they head over to a WayPointSprite first:

  SpriteWayPoint

  before they head to their Death at:

  SpriteDestroy

  What I would like to do is have them spawn randomly as they are doing at the moment,

  but if Sprite_01 is already spawn,

  I would like it to ONLY choose between Sprite_02 or Sprite_03 for its next generation

  and ONLY spawn another Sprite_01 once it has reached its death

  MANY THANKS in advance for any help i can get with this,

  I have been at this for days, with different boolean techniques without success
