How do I keep count of how may enemys..

I need to keep count of how many enemy's spawned on the layout and once it meets the limit it will stop spawning them in order for the level to be complete.

Example: once an enemy is killed I am creating a new enemy at a random spot, but I want the spawning to stop once it reaches 25 enemy's.

Any idea how I can make this happen, I already have the condition that once 25 enemys are killed it ends the level but I want there to be no enemy's on screen when the end of the level is reached.

Any help would be appreciated!

use a variable. Have it count up every time an enemy is spawned. when it hits 25 stop spawning.

when it hits 25 and they're all dead, end the level.

Will that work for ya?

Might be able to add the condition to only spawn if System: sprite.Count < 25

Thanks for the quick replys! ye I think both answers will work thanks a lot!

I tried doing this but cant get it to work correctly, I don't think I did it right:

I have System- Enemy on destroyed - create enemy at (x,y)

System- Enemies < Enemy.count

Enemies is the Variable and Enemy is the Sprite name, have I done this wrong?

If you're destroying an enemy and then spawning another one, enemy.count will never change.

example: say there's 3 enemies, so enemy.count = 3. you kill one. enemy.count goes down to 2. another is spawned. enemy.count goes right back to 3.

Enemy on destroyed

Enemies < 25

THEN

create enemy

add 1 to enemies

Enemies = 25

enemy.count = 0

THEN

next level

how's that?

you could do like this

Using lordshiva1948 demo here is another way.

use the sprite.count as spacedoubt says

Wow thanks for all the reply's, ill try these suggestions now much appreciated!

Im currently using the newest free version which is 173 but I cant open your capx because it says it is 176? how can that be?

I have been making a game and because I am limited to 100 events on the free version I have been using multiple projects then once I own the full version combine them to make the full game.

I am hoping to have saved enough money to be able to buy the full license next week is there a different version for the license holders?

if not how can I get hold of the 176?

176 is the latest beta release..

how to do i get that is it in the forums?
