Question

I need some help with a script I am trying to write.

I'd like to cycle through this array of gameobjects, activating the next enemy in the array every X seconds.

The problem is this:

-for loop spawns x number of enemies after x seconds.

-player kills enemy[1]

-for loop spawns enemy[1], instead of the next enemy in the array

How do I make the loop continue through the objects, before starting back at the beginning?

var Enemies : GameObject[];
var totalEnemies : int;
totalEnemies = 10;
var Player : Transform;

function Spawner()
{   

    for(var i=0;i < totalEnemies; i++)
    {
        yield WaitForSeconds(5);
        Enemies[i].active = true;
        Enemies[i].transform.position = Player.position;
    }
}

Thanks for any input!

Try this instead:

var Enemies : GameObject[];
var totalEnemies : int = 10;
var Player : Transform;
var currentEnemy : int = 0;
var secondsPassed : float = 0;


function Update() {

    if(currentEnemy == totalEnemies){

        return;

    } else {

        if(secondsPassed > 5){

            Enemies[currentEnemy].active = true;
            Enemies[currentEnemy].transform.position = Player.position;

            secondsPassed = 0;
            currentEnemy += 1;

        } 
    } 

    secondsPassed += Time.deltaTime;

}

Thanks for the help reissgrant. That works perfectly, I had started experimenting with using Update as the actual loop mechanism, but couldn't figure out the counter.

Thanks again!
