Spawning bad guys

[JRP]

So im trying to make random bad guys appear from the left or right side of the screen and have them appear more when your score increases,but i want to be in full control of how many bad guys are allowed when the score is at a certain value. ATM the setup i have is quite messy for example "score>100 create "bad guy" every 3 seconds etc , i did this and things got messy really fast and have found i dont have much control if i want to make the enemies stop spawning when the score reaches say 1000 it just keeps spawning them so its messed up alot. Any help appreciated

Have a global value which represents the enemies that you have on the screen. Then change the event with the spawning and add..

"myValue" <= X

..where X is the amount you want ( you can even have lets say "CurrentEnemies" and "MaxEnemies" and work with two variables)

Then whenever you spawn an enemy make sure to add 1 to that value and substract 1 if an enemy disapears.
