Hi
I've got a script and I've been playing with it for a while (it's for a TD game) and I'm trying to find a way to stop the enemies moving after they die, so far I've tried a few things, this is a sample of the code:
[scratchblocks]
when gf clicked
forever if <(health) > [0]>
repeat ((330) / (speed)
move (speed) steps
end
end
[scratchblocks]
so far it isn't working, the repeat move script is repeated with turns for every corner
Any ideas?

when  clicked
forever if health
 > 0
repeat 
move speed
 steps

Fixed

You will have to use the stop script block. It is at the end of the yellow colored script parts in the program.

Now it's really fixed. Your "repeat" block was faulty. tongue

Thanks for the help, I found a rather tedious way of doing it with the stop script block but I wish they'd make the "stop all in sprite" block smile

Triple fixed (got rid of bump at the end tongue )

@"stop all scripts in sprite" block: I think somebody's made that a suggestion. But you're right, it would be quite useful. As for the forever script, I would use a repeat until loop:


repeat untilnot health
 > 0
move speed
 steps

I'm a little confused as to why you had a "repeat" block within a forever loop though hmm

Yea, I got rid of that after I fixed it, using repeat until simply halts it after the code finishes, not mid way

You could do


if health
 = 0
 or health
 < 0
stop script

in the middle of a loop.

In most tower defense games, the enemies stop moving either when they reach the end or are beat. Also, you will need to make a sprite for the end point. This would work:

When  clicked
Wait until timer
 = time you want it to move
 this may vary
Repeat until health
 = 0
 or touching end point ▼
?
Do movement scripts
hide

The scripts may vary.

Repeat until seems to continue it's iteration after the conditions are false, and stop once it finished. I've solved the problem now anyway
