How do I create different actors based on a collision with the same actor?

For example, when I collide the first time, create actor1 then when I collide again, create a different actor; actor2, moreover, create another actor, actor 3 when I collide the 3rd time..and so on

What's the condition to create the actors?

Whenever my actor attacks an enemy actor I want wounds to appear on it. A different wound at every collision.

You need create a count variable, increment the count in each collision and test the value to create the right actor:

Code: Select all

count++;

if(count == 1)
{
    //Create actor 1
}
else if(count == 2)
{
    //Create actor 2
}

Ok, heres an annoying question
After I activate the collision, I type the exact code in script editor?
sorry

Create the count variable, in the Variables button.
The type is Actor, Integer.

Copy the code, and use the 'variable/funcitons' list to select the CreateActor action. The code for CreateActor will be generated in the panel.

It gave me:
Error line1: cannot apply inc/dec
line2: undeclared ident
line2:possible non relational operation...and a few more:(

What I did was, create 3 actors. collide actor, actor1, actor2.
Then I added on my main player collision with 'collide actor' then in script editor (still in my main player) i created the count variable. Then i put the code and clicked on variable/functions. Now was the count variable suppose to appear on the list?

Please, post the code here.

count++;

if(count == 1)
{
//Create actor 1
}
else if(count == 2)
{
//Create actor 2
}

Thats the code I put. The one you gave me. (sorry if im waisting youre valuable time!... I know yur busy )

Go to the 'Variables' button, Click 'Add' to add a new variable, use the 'count' as name of new variable, change Global to 'Actor variable', click Add to finish.

Now, the code must compile.

Thanks Makslane. I appreciate help!

Is it possible to loop the code? Like to redo counts after the last.

maybe add this:

else if(count == 2)
{
//count = 0
}


(this code is mostlikely wrong
but you get my point)

Do you mean using for or while commands?
You can, but keep in your mind the screen don't will be updated until finish the script.
