//Boxes to Avoid

How can I find and delete every other sprite?
Or a function to position the sprites farther apart.
I need it to skip every other position.
First sprite at x# 750, next at 2250, next at 3750 next at 5250 and so on.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Edit: I palyed with it alil and got it done another way. Im still wondering tho for future purposes...How would you delete every other array or make it skip positions like that.
Is what iv found that im happy with.

I don't fully understand wht you are trying to do, but for this part...

You can use step in your for loop...

for n = 1 to 50 step 2

This will increase n by 2 each loop - 1,3,5,7,9...

For deleting array elements or other similar operations you should always work backwards. This is because as soon as you delete 1 element, all the others are renumbered and you will crash and burn before the end of the loop. By the time you get to iteration 26, you'll only have 25 elements in your array.

for n = 49 to 1 step -2
MyArray.remove(n)
next n
