hey tshirt, can u make a tutorial on how to create a blast that destroys the spawning actors which are on screen for... say about 2 seconds, but after the blast is done the spawning should continue. its basically like a power up.
to create i used this video which was made by u.

the problem is that it does not stop and continues to kill my new spawning actors.
am having a hard time figuring out this.
Thank You

@djdee surely you can figure out how to add to the blast tutorial. What you are asking about is very simple and would easily be done at most with and extra attribute or two. Most likely you can actually do it with no extra attributes and just a timer.

Just make an attribute called blastOn (boolean)
When the blast goes off change blastOn to true

Have a rule when blastOn=true
-timer after 2 seconds(run to completion checked)
--change attribute blastOn to false

Then have a rule in your actors when blastOn=true destroy

Keep watching the videos and you learn. Watch and read the cookbook. It takes time to learn GS.
