I am making a game, loosely based upon the Dodge Game tutorial.
What I want is a new ball spawn when a certain score is reached, but I cant get it to work.

I dont want anyone to write a code for me, but I do want some pointers so I can solve this myself.

Thanks.

Here is how my game look for the moment:

how are you currently trying to trigger the spawns? it should be something as simple as checking a variable, say NextSpawn, which you would initialize at the start of each level and check each time the player scores and update appropriately. pseudo:



hope that helps

edit: you stated "as time goes" by in the title so just incase you want the score AND the time to dictate when the next ball spawns:



i know you asked for "no code" but i think this pseudo explains it best.

by the way, the screenie looks nice!

wanted to add that the code above adds the increment to the CurrentScore and i don't know your scoring system (ie, if the score can exceed the trigger score or not, hence the "=>") but if you wanted it to trigger, say every 10 points, you could change the line:

Thanks for your help!
But I did actually find a solution myself, similliar to your first codesnippet.

Here:


With a variable which is "ball3 = 0"

This one works great

Insteas of creating a new thread I write here:

Is there any way to attach particles (dark Physics) to another object, like the player?

And is there any easy way to add a fullscreenshader to DarkBasic?
I want to add the cartoonshader from DarkShader.

You should start a new thread.

The forum search feature searches on thread titles so if you did get an answer here, it's unlikely anyone else with the same problem would find the solution.

The FPSC board to me is a completely different planet with different inhabitants... and rules to match.

We don't normally venture there unless we really have to.

We're quite civilised this side of the wall...
