Thanks, for commenting.

I guess the real question is how much CPU power (time) it takes to read the remaining 39 conditioned events (Groups);

probably as you say little to none,.

Anyone else have experience doing this?

Hi There,

How do I decide which to do?

Say you have numerous groups (in my case 40) in your event sheet and you only need one group at a time to be 'triggered'.

Do you:

AC:. Add a Condition to each group to trigger that specific group or

DG: do you Deactivate all the Groups except the one you want?

Does anyone have experience in trying both and was there a difference in performance.

I want to target mobile users.

My first thought was DG would enhance the performance but I would like opinions from people more experienced than I.

Thanks for your time.

What you do and why?

Check your code, and if that doesn't work. Check it again. and again. and again.

Sorry but this is good practice to solve future problems.

Per the Manual:

Loops

Loops can be stopped with the Stop Loop system action.

Hi

So with permission of korbaach, I have broken down the capx above ( I made a barebone version if you will )

and made a tutorial

Thanks I will take a look.

Yes that will work.

Now I just have to figure out Arrays :-p

Hi

I currently have a question/answer game and it is set up as (eg) : Set int(random(0,4)) ,

---- obviously the game has more than 5 questions -- but for simplicities sake, ---------

anyway

so the game picks one number ( and the game sets the frame, and asks the question. )

the problem arises when the player is near the end of the game

and is repeatedly being asked the same questions over and over.

I would like it so that there is no repeats or duplicates .

I have been working with a basic capx.

My thought process is:

The game would Set a temp_random number and check against a 'line up' of other numbers to test if they

have already been played (AlreadyRan), and if yes, then 'run again' ( run the Set int(random(0,4)) again )

but if not 'Already Ran', then set the number and tag that number already played.

My problem arises when I try to reloop after a duplicate number is detected...

I have trying to figure it out on a capx but it just doesn't want to work....

any idea's?

Thanks for looking and thanks for your help,

much appreciated.

Just in case the capx is lost in space at some time in the future I decided to post a tutorial because I think this info is very useful

ok, thanks again.

Much appreciated.

ramones

Wow, That is an interesting method, and an easy method too!

Thanks for sharing.

I tried to PM you but not sure if it went thru.

I have a question if that's ok.

What if there are 3 sprites with no animation frames?

How easy is that ?
