Using wait in a repeat loop - not working?

Hi,

I'm trying to get this done:

But after the 'WaitSeconds*loopindex' action it goes wrong. All three explosions occur at the exact same coordinates.

So I tried that 'loopindex' but apparently it doesn't work.

Tried a bunch of things, but I was unable to solve it.

I'm pretty sure there's something simple to solve this, except I don't know what it could be!

Any ideas? Thanks.

That's because everything above the "Wait" action in the loop is actually executed in one tick. So first ShellX and ShellY are changed 3 times, and this happens immediately. After about 0.5 seconds your explosions are created and they use the same last values of ShellX and ShellY.

There are several ways to fix this. I would probably do this:

Add shadow and explosion to the same container. Set explosion sprite invisible by default. Spawn shadows (explosions will be created automatically). After a wait set explosion visible - it will appear at the same position as its shadow.
