self ID question

SAMman

Hey all,
does anyone know a good template that uses self.ID? I am trying to spawn several actors at once, all the same actor, but only destroy one of them when it collides with another actor and not all of them at once and I think self.ID is a way to do that. Does anyone know of a better way? Thanks.

Hey SAMman,
Are you changing a global attribute when a collision happens to trigger a destroy?

For self.id what you want to do is create a global attribute (integer) called "Count" (0)
In the actors you want to have an id, tell them to change attribute Count to count+1
Then, change attribute self.ID to game.Count

that helps a ton. Thanks Matt! Do you have any experience with making a pinch to zoom by any chance?

No problem

Do you mean pinching & spreading two fingers for a zoom effect?
