Awesome, thanks again for the help guys. I appreciate both explanations

One last question in regards to delays / cooldowns:

I'm trying to add a delay in a for loop, but what looks logical, only spawns 1 object (instead of 10 over 10 seconds)

For "AINum" from 0 to global('MaxAI')

spawn 1 AI

Wait 1 second

resume

Either they all show up at the same time, or just the one. I'm sure it's a simple order thing, but so far I've yet to figure it out.

Perfect. Got it working, Thanks so much for the help!

Complete programming noob here. This is actually a bit of a logic problem, and I'm sure I'm overlooking something really simple, but:

I've got a special power for my spaceship that can be fired once every 10 seconds (or longer, we'll see).

Condition: On key X pressed

For Loop 0 - 100 (making plenty of bullets)

Set each bullet to random angles

It works perfectly, and inflicts the carnage I like. But like I said, for whatever reason I can't get a cooldown working. I know I have to reinitialize the timer object to 10,000ms at the end of the bullet explosion, and wrap the whole thing in a while loop to evaluate whether times up or not...but getting that work is another thing entirely

On a more positive note, having never done any scripting before I've already created something fun in a few hours - so thanks for such a great program!
