Limited Ammo Question

eroming

My one ship can drop bombs but i want to know a clean method that when i have my game.bombs=0 the bombs can't spawn. I tried destroy actor but i can still see the bombs if you click fast enough.

Also is there any way i can make it so you can only drop one bomb per two seconds even if you click faster?

Thanks in advance!

When attribute 1 is true

spawn bomb.
-----
When bomb = 0

Change attribute 1 to false.

EDIT:

Didn't see the second part to the post, pretty sure it can be done more efficiently but I would have:

attribute and reset it every 2 seconds
When attribute is over 1 then don't spawn bomb.

Okay
Create an attribute called BombCount (integer) - whatever number you want
Create an attribute called BombGo (boolean) - true

In the bomb put a change attribute game.BombCount to game.BombCount + 1
Timer. For 2 Seconds, constrain BombGo to false
Timer After 2 Seconds, change attribute BombGo to true

Put in ship:
RULE
When BombGo is true, and whatever to spawn bombs (EX: when key space is down)
Spawn Actor: Bomb

RULE When game.BombCount =< 0, constrain BombGo to False

Im guessing you have a touch is pressed or mouse button down rule that spawns your bomb.
Just add the condition

when game.bombs > 0

the touch will no longer work when bombs reach 0

If you want to also only allow 1 bomb every 2 seconds make a boolean called bomballowed

And in the same rule you just added game.bombs > 0 Add a third condition game.bombsallowed is true

Add to your spawn rule a change attribute game.bombsallowed to false

Then add a new rule

When game.bombsallowed is false
--after 2 seconds run to completion checked
----Change attribute game.bombs allowed to true

So to re-cap

When touch is Pressed And
When game.bombs > 0 And
When game.bombsallowed is true
--Spawn Bomb
--Change attribute game.bombsallowed to false

When game.bombsallowed is false
--Timer, After 2 seconds Run to completion checked
------Change attribute game.bombsallowed to true

Hope that helps.
Good luck

i tried every option. I think my gamesalad isn't working based on multiple reasons. I am going to reinstall it an try again!

Post a screen shot of your rules. What I posted should work perfectly I have done several things like that before.

I am gonna try it again with a different game I am making! Then I will let you know!
