How do I spawn one enemy at a time with a switch?

[Fat_Angus]

I'm trying to create a sort of shooting gallery scenario where you press a switch to spawn an enemy, and you cannot spawn another enemy with the same mapspot using the switch until the previous enemy is dead. I also want this to trigger a script after x amount of times. My ACS knowledge has gone rusty. Please help!

How about something like this?

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"

int targets; //Define an integer to count the targets
Script 1 (void)
{
	If(ThingCount(T_NONE,5)>0) //If a monster with TID 5 is alive, tell the player to kill them
	{
		Print(s:"Shoot the current target first!");
	}
	Else //Otherwise....
	{
		If(targets>=3) //If three targets were shot, reward the player and remove the "Script Execute" special from the line to prevent redoing
		{
			ACS_Execute(2,0,0,0,0);
			ClearLineSpecial();
		}
		Else //Otherwise spawn a monster at spawn spot 3 and add to the integer
		{
			SpawnSpot("DoomImp",3,5);
			targets++;
		}
	}
}

Script 2 (void)
{
	Print(s:"Congratulations! You won the big prize!");
	SpawnSpot("SoulSphere",4);
}

That worked! Thanks. I really need to revise my ACS knowledge, lol. It's been years.
