I have a number of sprites on the screen which are moving,colliding and iether being hidden or deleted after a collision
I wish to know how many sprites are left at any given time, iether by sprite number or image number.
In plain language "when there are only "total" left, then end"
Thank You. Gemini

Well if you know how many you start off with just use...

SpriteNo = Number of sprites

If sprite collision........
Dec SpriteNo
Endif

If SpriteNo = minimum then go where your program ends.

thanks Pincho, I did try that previously,but whenever there was a collision, the number decreased by more than 1 before the sprite was deleted, so in no time atall it had come to the end of the count while most of the sprites where still there.
Is there a way of stopping the collision detection on the sprite, once the first one has registered ?.

Sprite Hit() works like that! It just works once.

If you use the original editor and not DarkEdit then it's easier to learn. Just type sprite hit and press F1.
