Couple of Qs

[Corlen]

This works with a ForEach loop where multiple enemies will spawn and set their X variable to the fixed value of the spawner, but I want to eliminate the need for a ForEach loop. It generates multiple enemies, but it sets the X variable to only the first instance of the spawner. What do I change with what's going on below?

IF X position of Spawner >= X( "Player Detection" )-Abs(X( "Player Detection" )-X Left Frame)
IF X position of Spawner <= X( "Player Detection" )+Abs(X( "Player Detection" )-X Right Frame)
IF Alterable Value C of Player Detection = 0
IF Spawner: internal flag 0 is off
IF Spawner: internal flag 1 is on

THEN Create Enemy at (0,0) from Spawner
THEN Set Enemy Alterable Value X to Fixed("Spawner")
THEN Set internal flag 0 on for Spawner
THEN Set internal flag 1 off for Spawner

Also, how do I test if an object is not between two coordinates in the same event without using or?

X position of Spawner > X
+X position of Spawner < X

That didn't work for me, I want it in a single event without using or to be something like

IF X position of Spawner less than 90
IF X position of Spawner greater than 180

THEN create Enemy.

[nivram]

X position of Spawner < 90
+X position of Spawner > 180
--->create enemy

Marv

I don't think this can happen, X position of Spawner < 90 +X position of Spawner > 180
--->create enemy, because the Spawner will never be in that position to create the enemy.

[Corlen]

Yeah but I saw years ago there was a way to do it. I keep trying Marv's example but it doesn't work in the same event.

[LB]

Marv's example is two conditions, maybe you're missing that part?

[Corlen]

Well I already know how to do it with two conditions, but I've seen it done in one condition years ago, I just can't remember how it was done.

[KLiK-iT]

Maybe:
X position of Spawner < 90
OR
X position of Spawner > 180
Only one action when event loops......... "create enemy"

[Corlen]

What I saw was done in MMF1.5 I believe, before or existed in MMF. I am already using or and it has 4 other conditions for one side of the or that I have to copy three more times in the same event to account for four different situations separated by or. My event is nearly taking up the whole height of the screen, which could be cut down to 1/4th the size if I could simply test if an object is not between two coordinates without using or or multiple events.

I wouldn't really care about this if I only had to have this code in my game one time, but I have to have it for every type of spawn point and corresponding enemy.
