Is this easy to do?

hrsmedia

I have managed to make an actor spawn when mouse is clicked, pretty easy.
But how do I limit to spawn only 1 actor if clicked? Then after a few seconds you can click to spawn another.

Also is it possible to select different actors to spawn by mouse click?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks

AllowSpawn (game attribute) = 0

when mouse click
and allowSpawn = 0

spawn actor
set allowSpawn = 1

after timer
set allowSpawn = 0

ok so create new game attribute = AllowSpawn (integer) Value = 0 ?

Then create rule when mouse click change attribute game.AllowSpawn to game.AllowSpawn0 ?

Do I put this on the invisible actor on the stage that I am using to spawn?

Sorry i'm bit confused. I started with the how to make a simple drawing game how to in the wiki...

ok. i've managed to make it spawn only once. but it won't spawn after the timer.

I've set the rule like this:

mousebutton is down
game.allowspawn = 0

spawn actor

change attribute: game.allowspawn to game.allowspawn=1

timer: after 5 seconds
change attribute: game.allowspawn to game.allowspawn=0

hrsmedia

change attribute: game.allowspawn to game.allowspawn+1

timer: after 5 seconds
change attribute: game.allowspawn to game.allowspawn-0

Make sure run to completion is checked in the Timer.

this is kind of random but don't you just feel smart when you talk about this stuff
