  give the npc two instance variables (x and y) when bullet (in question) is created store its x and y in npc.x and npc.y so you always know where you want to go ?

  two ideas-

  1 add your cars to a family and spawn the family (which will choose a car at random from the family)*

  2 - use one sprite but have your cars as different frames in that sprite - after spawning choose a random frame to display (dont forget to turn off animation - or have each car as a different animation in the sprite ?)

  *families not in free version

  That should be easy to do along the lines of set spawn rate= variable*(frame+1) or set alien number=variable(*frame number+1) - just play around with the setting in event 4

  I think it is related to you doing the set animation and play from beginning - try removing this and see if it reacts as you expect .

  Badmiracle - If you change your last event from Variable Random Timer = 0 to Variable Random Timer <= 0 then it should work .

  As you have it the timer will be a floating number and might never = 0 (it might be 0.4 then -0.6 for example)

  or you could round the random to the nearest whole number.

  There are other ways to do this.

  The 4 different types of aliens are just the frames in the sprites animation . Every time you click the "next wave button" (spButtonRestart) in event 4 it adds 1 to the gvAlienType and this is used to set animation frame after the alien sprite (spAlien) is spawned from a random spSpawnPoint in event 2.

  the sprite for spAlien consists of 4 frames each with a different alien graphic - animation speed set to 0.

  The spawn number and frequency are also set in event 4 ( global variables - gvNumberOfAliens and gvDelayPerAlienSpawn)
