timers not working correctly

Postby BlarghNRawr » Sat Aug 16, 2008 7:03 pm

i made an actor create another actor (Bullet) right next to it and at the same time, created a 5 sec timer...
after the 5 seconds, another bullet is created in the same place as well as another 5 second timer...
i think this should make an endless stream of bullets comming at intervals of 5 seconds, but only the first 2 come, then they stop getting created...
any help?

The only reason I can think of, is that you have set how many times it counts the timer to 2, making the timer only go twice, then stop. Another idea is that you've put a destroy timer somewhere? Those are the only 2 possible reasons I can think of.
