Limited number of spawns

Pineapple_King

Hey all,
I am looking for a rule that can either limit the number of spawns of an actor (meaning i can only click 10 times, after the 10th click no actor is spawned) or stop spawning altogether after certain conditions are met.
Thanks a lot,
PK

Create a real attribute "10SpawnLimit", integer.

In your spawn rule have the condition "if SpawnLimit < 10", and add a change attribute behavior "10SpawnLimit +1"

At some point you will probably need to clear or reduce that number, like if you destroy one of the spawns, change attribute "10SpawnLimit -1"

There might be a simpler way.

Here's a question - can a user crash the I app by repeatedly spawning something by clicking hundreds of times? Or hopefully that would just make the program run slowly for a while....?

Perhaps a numerical spawn limit param, by type, or by actor, would prevent this

I've never reached a crash by this, but might once I start making spaceship shooters ;-)
