Instanced loops

I'm creating a loop based platform engine, and I want more players to be on the screen at the same time.

I want to use the same sprite for the different players, and only change a variable to make each player control his sprite.

This looks like the best solution to have a low amount of events.

However, the loop isn't obviously instanced for each player, so when the loop stops for a sprite, it stops for every sprite.

How can I solve this?

for each player

You've pretty much answered your own question there. Make two loops:

+ For each player
    + While Player is overlapping ground
        -> Push Player out

Just be careful with nesting loops, because they can turn into CPU eaters pretty quick.

dependin on how many players you will use it might be better to just use a cloned sprite and repeat the events.

In fact you can put a loop below any condition at all that picks from 'player', and the actions will only run on the instance(s) that met the parent event. This is how subevents work - they inherit the picking from the parent.

Edit: manontherun: that actually wouldn't be a good idea, it would be much more work! It's easily possible with deadeye's method.

depending on players quote, because nested loop is suggested. but i dont disagree with you.
