Number of objects depending on counter

**Chily** · 9th February 2015, 08:45 PM

Hello everyone,

i have a problem displaying the correct number of player units depending on a counter. I have no idea how to solve that at the moment.

I have a counter which displays the number of a specific unit. Let's say for example a mediaval warrior.
In my game the player can recruit more units of this type. The total number of this medieval warrior ist stored in a counter.

Example:
If the counter is 2 = two objects of the medieval warrior need to appear in the game.

Is there a chance to clone/duplicate an object during game depending on a counter value?
Is there another way?

I hope someone can help me! :-(

Are you saying that the amount on the counter is the amount of those objects that need to appear?

You could use a loop that runs as many times as the counter.

If Counter <> 0:
-> Start loop "create warrior" Value of Counter times

On loop "create warrior":
-> Create a warrior

On loop "create warrior"
+ LoopIndex = Value of Counter - 1
-> Set counter to 0

Thanks for the feedback.

@Snail
Is there such a function to create an object during gameplay at position x/y? Or something like: If Counter = x --> create object y?
I do not know a function like this. In combination with the loop from Ziplock, this could be the solution.

@Ziplock:
"Are you saying that the amount on the counter is the amount of those objects that need to appear?"
-> This is exactly what I'm trying to do!
