— but every so often the enemies seem to overlap each other?????

I know I'm asking for a lot but I feel really dumb right now :S

Is it possible you could make a really quick CAPX of it? Don't want to keep bugging you both so only if you have the time.

Thank you.......sorry again

— is this what you meant?

Okay I know I'm probably getting really annoying now haha. I'm so confused I don't even know why. Heres what I've done below.

I know I have filled in the 'else' but even without that I'm sure I've done it wrong

sorry about the duplicate message, scirra was playing up a little

Tylermon yeah it is a bit confusing the way i've done it. I originally had the following....

every(5,8)seconds | Create object(enemy) <----------- This is the Spawn Rate.

Then i wanted the level to get harder by subtracting from the spawn rate time so I created the global variable SpawnTime.

So if I add 1 to the SpawnTime and I have this subtracted from the spawn rate, then eventually the spawn rate becomes 0 which I don't want.

I was hoping I could get it to -----------> every(0.5,1.5)seconds.......for example

so is this how I should code it:

Spawn rate-spawn time > 0

and then this being the condition?................Every random(spawn rate - spawn time).................is that what you mean?

linkman2004 Thank you!

yeah i only did add 5 every second so that i could quickly see the progression of the even and whether it was working correctly.

Tylermon how should i be coding what you said?

— interesting, i never knew about this function before. How should i code it?

I'm sorry to sound so bad at this, its just confusing me!

I saw someone else's post on this and I'm having the same problem. I couldn't understand the answer that they were given so I'm essentially repeating the question! Sorry

I tried asking this question earlier today but only got referred back to the other post again which I don't understand.

I've created a game where 2 sets of enemies will be coming towards the player at random spawning times.

I wanted there spawning rate to be more frequent to increase the difficulty of the game, so I added a Global Variable called 'SpawnTime'.

The 'SpawnTime' will subtract from the enemy spawning rate. However I need to create a limit so that it doesn't subtract forever. Otherwise the spawn rate will eventually become '0' it meaning that it will be "every x seconds" | random(0,0)" so all the enemies will just overlap.

Thr starting spawn rate for one of the enemies is random(5,8) so I essentially would want it to be something like random(0.5,2) when it reaches the most difficult stage.

THANK YOU!

I've attached the image below with my current events page......

Yeah I just copied his question since its pretty much the same as mine, but It didn't work for me? not sure what I did wrong.

Is there a different way to do this?
