Help WIth Actor Spawning

forali

I am creating a game that requires when you press number keys 0-1 it would change/spawn the character assigned to the key, so if i press 1 it spawns character1, and if i press two it spawns character 2. Okay I have the rule set if key 1 is pressed spawn char 1, that all works, but the problem I am having is when i spawn character two it will not delete character one, so character two just stays on screen. i have the rule under the spawn that says if key 2 is pressed destroy actor one.(yes i realize i after to do every other key except one to have it destroyed) But this isnt working. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks

The question is, does it really necessary in your gameplay to destroy the actor? Why not just move it off the screen when you pressed the button.

Would moving it off screen eliminate the actor firing when I hit the fire button?

And, what x and y coord would be needed to be off screen

I'm trying to understand what your trying to accomplished and heres what i came up. If you want to change actor type with a push of button you could actually accomplished this without spawning and destroying by just using 1 actor, 1 attribute and 1 rule.

-create a global attribute and name it ActorID and set it to integer.
-in your actor make a rule
RULE
->if game.ActorID = 1
-->change actor image to type 1
---> spawn bullet type 1
otherwise
-->change actor image to type 2
---> spawn bullet type 2

In your button change the glocal attribute ActorID to 1 & 2 when press accordingly. There it is, no moving off screen and no destroying.
