All instances of affected enemies get cured at once - Any idea how to fix this issue?

OK, so this is what I want:

In my game, you have the ability to inflict enemies with different status effects. This part works fine. I've decided to have there be a chance that the enemies can recover for any given inflicted status, so here's what I'm doing with the burning effect and they have a 10% chance every 3 seconds to recover. (Where let's say Flag 5 is for Burning to death, on = yes, off = no).

Every 3 seconds
+Group.Enemies flag 5 is on
+Random(100)+1 <= 10
+Only one action per event runs (or whatever it's called lol)
-> Group.Enemies flag 5 set to OFF, create the 'wow I'm cured!' effect on that enemy

So what's happening is if X amount of enemies are on fire and the 10% check is successful, all X enemies get cured all at once and they each get a 'wow I'm cured!" effect over their heads. I'd want each enemy to have a 10% chance of getting cured, not a 10% chance for every enemy to get cured all at once.

I thought that having the 'only one action per event runs' line would stop this from happening but no dice.

Any idea what I'm missing?
Thanks!

only one action when event loops will run this action only once-per-occurrence
but won't "select" a single instance

to select a single instance,
substitute "only one action.." with "pick one of (group enemies)"
(pick or count >> pick "group enemies" at random)

this however will pick only one enemy per occurrence / thus healing only one random flagged enemy every 3 seconds
so if you want to cycle all flagged enemies every 3 seconds and give all of them a chance of being cured XD
you should do something like:

Every 3 seconds
+Group.Enemies flag 5 is on
>>> start loop for each one of "group enemies", loop name "cure"

on each one of "group enemies", loop name "cure"
+Random(100)+1 <= 10
>> Group.Enemies flag 5 set to OFF
>> create the 'wow I'm cured!' effect on that enemy

Every 3 second run a foreach loop on all group.enemies that have flag 5 on. On foreach, and 10% chance, cure enemy and turn flag off.

Popcorn, we often overlap each other with same timings

Maybe we should run a foreach loop on our posts

on each post of (clickers)
+schrodinger overlapping popcorn
+pick one of (group clickers)
>>> make invisible

XD

Lol haha :)

Haha schrodinger... I wish we could +1 posts!

I tried it myself yesterday using fastloops and that didn't work but I'll try your suggestions. (I still can't seem to get a handle on the For Each object even though everybody says it's way easier).

Thanks guys!

When you run a ForEach loop with no other conditions, Fusion will iterate through all instances of the object.
If there are conditions in the event that starts the ForEach loop, only instances of the object that matches the conditons will be looped through.

To take schrodinger 's example:

* Every 3 seconds
+Group.Enemies flag 5 is on
- Group.Enemies: Start ForEach "Try to cure me"

// Only objects that have flag 5 on is selected to be included in the loop

* ForEach "Try to cure me"
+ Random(100)+1 <= 10
- Group.Enemies: set flag 5 OFF
- Group.Enemies: // Cure object

When we put the conditions in the event that starts the ForEach loop, it means that Fusion doesn't need to iterate through all instances, only those that meet the criteria.
The Random() condition should trigger for each object, so that condition have to be inside the loop.

Damn, I should just hire you just guys. I'd get way more games finished that way.

Thanks, Popcorn!

Popcorn: I had no idea the scope was affected in that way. I just thought it still iterated on ALL instances, only more efficiently than a normal fastloop. Holy crap, I wish the help file was properly documented for the ForEach loop. It doesn't even touch on the ForEach of 2 objects action...

Shrodinger's example did the trick and I added it across all the frames a few hours ago.

Much thanks, everyone!

I should point out, if all you care about is a mathematical scoping of enemies you could just put random(100) into one of their spare alterable values, then on the next line compare to that value, which would be different for each enemy, so some are selected and some aren't

But for creating the "Wow I'm cured" above their head, yup you'd need to iterate through them with a foreach loop if you want multiple enemies to be curable on the same event
