Problem in using replicate function

Hi,

I am a newbie. I would like the actor disappear when the copy in replicate is 0. Other than destroying the actor, is there any proper way doing it?

Thanks.

KC

    Not sure what you mean. The replicate behavior can diminish its value if you plug in an attribute. See the attached project.

    If you use an attribute for the number of copies in your replicate behavior then you would just have a separate rule that says When attribute = 0 --> change attribute self.color.alpha to 0. Alpha is a measure of opacity with 1 being 100% opaque and 0 being 0% opaque (aka transparent/invisible.) Or if your attribute can go negative, then When attribute ≤ 0 --> change attribute self.color.alpha to 0.

    Its been fixed in the nightly build, so replicate 0 will hide the actor in the next public release. Until then, you can use tatiang's workaround.
