  Ah ... you got me thinking and I figured out a way that works for me. What I did was define a global variable (which I called LoopRun with initial value of 0) whose value I changed after each spawn.

  Here's the code.

  

  I'm sure its not the best or most efficient way of doing it, but it works!

  Hi all

  Working on my first game and learning as I go along. The forums have been very useful, along with the tuts. I've searched, and though I have found many questions and answers on spawning sprites, I've not been able to find a solution for this problem I have:

  I have 5 spawn positions: A B C D E

  Spawn location A will spawn a sprite. Once this sprite stops moving, location B will spawn a sprite. Once this sprite stops moving, location C will spawn a sprite and so on. Once the Sprite spawned by location E has stopped moving, the spawning cycle must go back to location A, and start all over again, until a certain condition is met.

  I have tried a variant of the answer given here : https://www.scirra.com/forum/every-seconds_t69711 , but I find that location A keeps spawning over and over, and the other locations do not spawn at all. The solution in that post is also time dependent. I would prefer to spawn a new sprite once the previously spawned one has stopped moving.

  Thanks to anyone offering some help or guidance.
