Enemies code

public void act() { getWorld().addObject(new DarkPower(90), getX(), getY()); shoot(); } get rid of the bold bit, because that is what the shoot method does, as the same line of code is already there. And feel free to bug me, I had to do the same thing in my CompSci class, so I know how it can be.

thanks...it is delaying but they are all still shooting at the same time, do you know how to fix that problem, i only want a limited amount of enemies shoot at the same time (3-4)

public int shotDelay = 0; public int deSync = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(50); /** * Act - do whatever the BugEnemy wants to do. This method is called whenever * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment. */ public void act() { shoot(); } public void shoot() { if(shotDelay >= 25 && shotDelay > deSync) { getWorld().addObject(new DarkPower(90), getX(), getY()); shotDelay = 5; } shotDelay++; } try that out, the deSync int will have every enemy start shooting at different times, by having the first delay be longer than the rest by a random amount.

what is the 50 in the deSync mean and it does work but it just showering with bullets....is it possible just for only 3-4 enemies shoot at a time before the next start shooting

How do you get the enemies to have a longer delay than others, will you just change the number in the shot delay to a higher value

public void shoot() { if(shotDelay >= 25 + deSync) { getWorld().addObject(new DarkPower(90), getX(), getY()); shotDelay = 5; } shotDelay++; } that should do the trick. If you just changed the number in shotDelay, then it would change it for all the enemies. You need some random element there, in this case the int deSync

It worked better, but because my game is like galaga or space invaders, i have 31 enemies and it's showering with bullets still, do you have any sort of advice to fix this, should i limit the amount of enemies then just have the enemies spawn when is shoot one, i'm sort of stuck in this situation???

Increase the 25 and deSync values until you get to a point you think is comfortable. That will slow down the rate at which they fire, and make it a managable situation.

1. when the enemy and my player's bullets collide, i want it to disappear, what's the code

how do you make the enemies go down a bit together whilst in formation like the game space invaders
