[Solved]For each and Trigger Once looping

I get a headache on this. They seems don't like each other and it keeping spawning of objects.

Do you want to stop the loop as soon as one spawning event has occured ? If so, remove the "Trigger once" and add a "Stop loop" action.

Magistross, I tried the way you said, not working:(

Hmmm, I think I misunderstood what you wanted. You want your whole loop to trigger only once. When do you want it to fire, on the start of the layout ?

Hm i have a similar kind of event in my isometric Z-ordering example. I have tiles that each spawn a certain number of objects on top of themselves to stack blocks up. I got it to stop spawning using a trigger once event.

Its for a different purpose but this might help:

example capx

Thanks for helping:)

Magistross: My goal is trigger this event ONCE(1 loop for each) at anytime when the condition matches.

Tommyttk: I find in your example the "Trigger Once" is in front of "For Each", which is the magic make it works! but It is only trigger once in the whole game/layout. What if I want re-trigger this when the condition matches?

You'll need to put it under event that is the condition you mention there. Generic method would be:

global variable RUN_LOOP = 0

RUN_LOOP = 1

..your loop here

... your loop action stuff

.. RUN_LOOP = 0

Now, whenever you wish to run that loop you can set RUN_LOOP to 1 in your events. That's the generic way, better way is making your loop a function. :)

Thanks for the hint! I eventually find the way:) It's basically same as Vee41 said, but since I have a lot of instances, so instead of global variable. I use instance variable and it finally worked!

Here is the working example:

Thanks again:)
