How do I make a DoubleKill / Multikill / Rampage Feature ?

Hello guys,

I'm currently struggling with the implememtation of a multi-kill feature for my top down shooter.

I tried to solve it with a variable and the System->Wait expression, but this does not work correctly all the time.

Any ideas?

Add a couple of variables (global or instance) LastKillTime, MultiKillCount.

Hi there,

I decided to make an example for you, because I never actually tried myself.

Only text won't work good (as expected) if you kill many enemies in a very short time, but that's just because I decided to make it in a specific way.

And hi again...

This version is just a bit harder to understand, but everything works flawlessly.

I probably will update this later for myself.

I won't have multikill feature in my game, but I will have achievements and some messages would need to be displayed. Looks like a start.

I'm thinking Array would store all incoming messages and then game must display one of them each 3 second until it reaches the last one. Doesn't sounds too hard.

In game you probably won't have more than 3-4 messages in the same time, but I'll make a room for much more.

And here comes Triple Kill! ezpz

Game successfully stores incoming messages so you won't miss any.

You could add sounds, pictures and anything else you like.

Left button - Shoot

Middle button - Kill 'em All (There's 8 enemies so you will have few more Pentakills which you may easily fix, but I required more messages here)

Right button - Spawn "HELLO" Message

Current limitation is 98 messages, you can surely spawn more. However I doubt ANY game uses more than 3-4 in the same time.

I don't even need this in my project right now, but it's nice to have for future use

I’m fairly certain “on destroyed” is is triggered for each instance indavidually. So the pickedcount expression will always just be 1.

You are right, thanks!

I learned it the hard way that events like "On timer" can sometimes pick several instances, this made me a bit too cautious.
