How do I make this for loop work?

Hello,

another event activates the group asdf

But this very simple loop doesnt do what I want lol. I want ever 0.5 seconds to spawn an object at x=0,100,200,300 and also increase the size by 50 everytime but it doesnt work. It's like the loopindex stays 0 all the time because it only creates 1 (or more objects and puts them all at the same spot).

Ive dont stuff like this 1000 times already which is why I am so confused. Can someone help? thanks

So you really want

local number blabla=1

system repeat 10 times

system wait 0.5 seconds

system create object sprite_obstacle at (blabla*100, 1961)

prite_obstacle set width to 50*blabla

system add 1 to blabla

So you really want

local number blabla=1

system repeat 10 times

> system wait 0.5 seconds

> system create object sprite_obstacle at (blabla*100, 1961)

>sprite_obstacle set width to 50*blabla

> system add 1 to blabla

Thank you but this doesnt work at all. It doesn't increase the width. It somehow works if I replace the wait system 0.5 seconds by wait system 0.5 * loopindex. But the width stays the same.

/e: well it all works if I use a global variable instead of a local one..very weird

I'm not sure this is a good way of doing this. Would you be better off setting a repeating timer and having a counter of the number of times it has fired, then kill the timer when you have done 10 ? Like this ?
