in Working with GS (Mac)
I am making a game where to advance to the next level you must defeat all the enemies. On each level there is one more enemy than the last. I have created a method for infinite levels but when i defeat an enemy another one spawns to take its place. I am new to gamesalad. Please help.
P.S. I know it is a program flaw and have tried to fix it with attribute math but cannot

    It sounds like what you want is When game.enemyCount < game.EnemiesForThisLevel, then spawn a new enemy. In your enemy actor, have Change Attribute game.enemyCount to game.enemyCount+1. You don't have to use an actual attribute for game.EnemiesForThisLevel. You could just have a number there. Be sure to reset game.enemyCount to 0 at the start of each level.

    If you're still having problems, post a screenshot (see instructions in my signature below) of your rules.

    Put an attribute in your spawn rule that says when enemy count is < the max amount spawn actor and also count them as @tatiang describes and it will stop spawning when the count goes to the max number. Also this video might help in counting them using tags.

    How is that a correction? It still sounds like the same issue but you haven't said what you've tried since then or whether our suggestions worked.

    You'll need to post screenshots of your rules.
