destroys only one actor?

calvin9403

Hey everyone

I got a problem in my game

I want when a button touch is press, delete one enemy(there is a bunch of them)

so what I do is

make an attribute press? boolean, false

when touch is press change it to true

in the enemy actor, when press? is true destroys this actor

but then it will destroy all of them, any ideas?

P.S. I aslo want when touch is press, destroy half of the enemy(ex: if there is 20 enemies then destroy 10, if 33 then destroy 17 etc)

thanks for the help

Calvin

issue 1) you need to set up a system so it knows what one to destroy.

make a self attribute self.active set to true

when touch is pressed change attribute self.active to true

when game.press is true and self.active is true
destroy

cheers

look at my response in this thread:

http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=25293

use the first part of this to give each enemy a unique ID. Then you could have this in the enemy:

when game.touchNumber (integer) = self.actorID
-----destroy

then in the button have a rule:

when touch pressed
change game.touchnumber to game.touchnumber + 1

thanks SC

there is a weird bug though

when I have 5 enemies at first, I touch the button 3 times, now there is 2 left

after spawning 3 more, I touch the button again, it destroys two of them

scitunes

put a display text behavior in to show the self.actorID on each

then put a display text with the game.touchnumber in the button

maybe that will help you figure out what is wrong

calvin9403

I figure it out

because I can destroy the enemies in other ways, for example there is 5 enemies on the scene

I destroy 2 and 4(ID)

now when I touch the button, 1 destroys , but when I touch it again, 2 won't destroy(because it is gone already)
