Back after a long spring break. Also got some questions :)

DanielA

Back and ready to work .
Ok well my 1st question is, is there anyway to put a counter on the number of the same actors on the game? For example i do not want more then 15 P actors spawned, i want them to be destroyed before they are spawned. How do i do this?
My other questions i do not know how do describe. should i make a video or what?

pre-spawn all your actors, keep them off screen. move them into position when ready.

GameSalad sucks at spawning and destroying stuff. Major performance penalty.

Yes, it's a bitch.

Only spawn/destroy if you absolutely must.

I do HAVE to spawn it though.... but if my character doesn't move then it keeps spawning at the rate i set it to (its a kinda glitch thing). So im out of luck?

StormyStudio

make a game attribute, 'number of P's'

then on the actor that is spawned have a rule that adds one to the game attribute.

And on the rule that is spawning your actors have it so that:
if 'game.number of P's' < 15
spawn actor.

This way as soon as there are 15 P's in your scene, no more can be spawned..

Hope that helps.
