Ask a Question / How to tell the scene to stop spawning actors when anything is in a region?

« on: January 22, 2015, 11:32:48 pm »

So.... I decided to try making a match three game for my own idea for a first game attempt and... well not as simple as I expected >.> Worst thing I'm not even on what I thought would be the hard part lol.

What I need help on is I'm trying to fill up the screen when the game starts with blocks and I decided to use regions because not using actors as spawners will help reduce the awful lag I have (the 10x10 playing field doesn't help matters lol).

Problem I ran into is regions seems to only work with either a specific actor and not just anything... preferably a whole group. And then I also need to tell the scene to stop spawning blocks since the regions are all at the top of the columns. Anybody out there who can help?

Resolved Questions / [Solved] Can't attach "Return to start of loop" event thing where I'm sure I can

« on: January 21, 2015, 07:32:31 pm »

So... I'm trying to follow part 6 of "Abigayl's Interactive Tutorials" and ran into a problem.

I'm at the part where I need to return to the start of a loop after manually checking if this actor these events are in touched the player... or atleast I think that's what's going on?

Anyways when I go to try and attach the "Return to the start of loop" thing where the picture in the turturial says to put it... it not attaching. Figured it was a bug at first but after seeing if anything else would attach they would.... just not "Return to start of loop".

So I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong but I have no idea at this point because... I'm sure I'm trying to attach it to a loop... heck I even got the same event attached it an earlier part!

The red line in the screenshot is pointing to where I'm trying to attach the event at.
