Collision keeps occuring

integr96

I have box 1 which collides with box 2. When box 1 collides with box 2 it spawns actor box 3. My problem is that each time I collide box 1 with box 2 it spawns a new box 3. How do I get it to only spawn one box 3 even though box 1 may collide with box 2 multiple times?

Make a boolean called box3? and say when box1 and box2 collide and box 3 is false, spawn box3. Edit: then in box3 say change attribute box3 to true.

Here is an example:

@Utvecklas_Games I tried viewing the file but I am using Windows not Mac. I also tried following your directions but I am still having the same problem.

The idea is to have a boolean (e.g. self.AlreadySpawned) in the actor that is spawning box 3 and then change that boolean to true when box 3 is spawned. Then in the spawn rule, set it to ALL conditions and add If self.AlreadySpawned is false to the list of conditions for spawning box 3.

Like this:

Box 1 actor
If actor collides with Box 2 AND self.AlreadySpawned is false
.....spawn actor Box 3
.....change attribute self.AlreadySpawned to true

@integr96 Just follow @tatiang 's instructions and it should be fine. (Also, I thought Windows had a way to open Mac files... )
