Yes it works...
I'm trying out other stuff now, and I found a far better question: how do you make something move constantly without user input? there's no section for repeating code :|

You can create a timer like this

ON TIMER (period)
code
END TIMER

(period) = in ticks
60 ticks = 1 second

Is there an easier way to make a whole lot of sprites do the same thing than make code for each one of them?
I want some enemies to come from the right side of the screen for a shooter type game...

Code: [Select]
Let x = 1 to n
CREATESPRITE x
MOVESPRITE x
PUSHSPRITE x

n = total number of sprites

Sorry I was at dinner so it took me a while to post! I got this from eqwanox's shooter game!

That code isn't right. you want FOR, not LET. You also need NEXT at the end.
