Multiple hit points with multiple spawning actors

reddotinc

I have just had a look at TSB's tutorial: http://gamesalad.com/wiki/how_tos:gsc_how_to_have_more_then_one_hit_points# , and whilst that is great, I'm trying to work out how I could use this when I have more than one enemy on the screen at any one time.

There are sometimes two of a specific type of enemy on the scene, and obviously I can't set this in the actor's rules as the two would conflict.

Any idea how I would be able to constrain the x,y of multiple actors to allow this to work for me?

Thanks

this might help...i think it will work.. but only for 2 actors like you asked... (but you can see how you might modify it for more)

scene:
game.enemy_id=1;

enemy actor:
self.id = game.enemy_id
game.enemy_id = game.enemy_id+1
if(game.enemy_id > 2 ) game.enemy_id=1

if(self.id=1)
enemy1X=self.Position.X
enemy1Y=self.Position.Y

if(self.id=2)
enemy2X=self.Position.X,
enemy2Y=self.Position.Y

Hmm ok I might look into that.. I might need a way to make it a little less limited though.

Anyone else have any ideas?
