Spawn Limiter

FatalCrest

How can I create a spawn limit and stopping the spawn function?

So far i created a Boolean called spawnLimitMax then set it to false.
Then I created an interger called spawnAmount and gave it the amount 0.

Note: I just want to keep the spawnAmount to go to 1 for now.

This is how I want it to work though, when I touch my actor it spawns another actor(the enemy),
then i want it so that after it spawns i can't respawn anymore of the enemies.

When you tap the actor it'll add one to spawnAmount, then when spawnAmount = 1,
spawnLimitMax = true. So when spawnLimitMax = true it will disable the spawn from any tap on
my actor.

I need a little help here because I can't find a way to disable the spawning!

You're certainly on the right track!

I started to write it all out, but it was easier to actually make it!

You can find the example here:

Hope that helps!

I'm gonna see what I can do know! Thankies!
(Sorry about how I type out what I say I kinda rush when I type, so it makes it confusing)

alrighty then... It seems like you have the spawning down.... but....

instead of spawning you might want to just change the alpha of your actor (so you don't have to spawn (spawning hurts the processor pretty bad))

Hmm... not a bad idea! But I think this is the only thing I'll probably spawn out of this project so...
yeah...

I don't see the need for the boolean and the integer. Just have the integer.

In the spawner have a rule that says

when game.spawnamount < some number
---Rule: when touch is pressed
--------- spawn actor

Then in the enemy actor that gets spawned have a change attribute behavior

change game.spawnamount to game.spawnammount+1
