slow spawn

[mrmegawarrior]

i am trying to spawn objects but when i do it the object spawns very fast and it makes too many of them. how do i force objects to spawn at a slower rate

This is more about the mechanics then the thyme.
If you're using a laser make the object spawn in the path of the laser to temporarily block it. Or you could use a spinning square and use oncollide so you can fine tune the frequency of collisions.

[mrmegawarrior]

so there is no way to do it with thyme?

[Mystery]

No way that is worth doing.
You could get craft with some timers

Look at section 9 and 13.

I use this:

Code: Select all

(e)=>{sim.time - e.this.controllerAcc >= 1 ? {scene.addCircle({}); e.this.controllerAcc = sim.time}:{}}

IMPORTANTset it's controlller accelerator to zero and it should spawn a circle every second

Or use something like:

Code: Select all

controllerAcc=controllerAcc+1; controllerAcc>100 ? {Spawn code here; controllerAcc=0}:{};


[mrmegawarrior]

thanks they worked

Or use something like:

Code: Select all

controllerAcc=controllerAcc+1; controllerAcc>100 ? {Spawn code here; controllerAcc=0}:{};


I guess you put this code on the onCollide part of the objects scripting menu

Oncollide or onlaserhit, depends what you use to activate spawer.
