Hi Guys, Sorry it's me again.

I understand basic loop logic, but how to apply this in construct.

I have a variable LEVEL which starts at 1

I have a player who collects coins and 1 enemy AI.

I want to LOOP when player collects all coins.... so all coins respawn (which is fine).... but I want LEVEL to increment whilst adding another enemy on each level (harking it harder).

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks,

Roberto

It's not really a loop. You just need to increment the LEVEL variable when some conditions are met (all coins collected, all enemies killed). And then you can start a new level, creating a number of new coins/enemies, which is based on the LEVEL value.

So your code may look something like this:
On start of layout Repeat (LEVEL) times : Create Enemy Repeat (LEVEL*2) times : Create Coin On Enemy destroyed if Enemy.count=1 // last enemy killed Wait 1 second Add 1 to LEVEL Restart layout

Thanks dop2000,

That almost made sense.

On Enemy destroyed

if Enemy.count=1 // last enemy killed

How does this bit interpret? I've tried a sub-event and I can't seem to find COUNT :(

Sorry!

Oh! just tried:
- On Enemy destroyed
- Wait 1 second
- Add 1 to LEVEL
- Restart layout
and it works great!

"if Enemy.count=1" checks is made using "System compare two values" condition.

It checks if that destroyed enemy was the last remaining instance on the layout. If you only have one enemy on each level, then you don't need this check.
