Random Spawn Question

Harvick29

I have figured out how to set up the random spawn, however I would like to find out how to run through each spawned actor only once each. Example: If I have it set up as "game.spawnactor random (1,4)", how would I set it up so that if it uses spawn 3 as the first spawning,....it then can never spawn #3 again?

The way I would do it would be to set up 4 attributes, and after a random number is selected, mark the associated attribute as used and then when the next random number is picked, do a check to see if that number is used already or not. I hope this helps.

Put a rule in actor three that say something like change attribute game.invisible to game.invisible+1

then in the actor

if game.invisible is > 0

self.color/alpha = 0

this will have a lot of extra actors though, so if they spawn often, this is not a good fix.. but may get you started???

maybe add another rule..

timer 0.5
if self.color.alpha=0
destroy?

I've never done this.. may not work.. maybe some one with more skill can expand/fix my guess

Great, thanks guys!! I'll give this a shot and let you know!

Quick question: I already have within each actor a boolean attribute that automatically changes the actor to "false",...then when it's touched, it animates and then turns it to "true"
Would I piggyback off this attribute, or create a new attribute for what I'm trying to accomplish?

Thanks!
