playing animation then destroying an enemy?

adam_b_uk

hey guys, i just started using game salad a couple of hours ago and im a bit stuck with this

im trying to get it so the enemy ship coming towards you stops, plays an explosion animation/sound then disappears when its hit by a laser.

in testing, i shoot the enemy and the explosion sound plays, but the enemy keeps moving, the animation doesnt play and it isnt destroyed.

i have a rule where if the laser colides with the enemy it stops the enemy, plays the sound and animation then a timer so that it is destroyed after the animation.

isnt working though

just learning about this program at the minute so help would be much appreciated

Thanks guys!

check out the Basic Shoot 'em up template that ships with gamesalad, it has the code to do exactly what you want, destroy ship, play explosion animation and play sound.
