hey. im trying to make a simple level editor. but whenever it clicks it removes my last placed wall. how do i make it so it keeps the walls that where placed. here is my code:

+ Code Snippet

load image "sprites/wall1.png",1

hide mouse

do

Rem Make Cubes and place when player clicks
For boxes = 2 to 100
if mouseclick()=1
sprite boxes,mousex(),mousey(),1
endif
Next boxes

sprite 1,mousex(),mousey(),1


loop

thanks in advanced,

The for/next loop goes too fast. It should be more like this:

+ Code Snippet

load image "sprites/wall1.png",1
hide mouse
set text opaque

boxes=1:tim=timer()
do
 sprite boxes,mousex(),mousey(),1
 text 0,0,str$(boxes)

 ` Make Cubes and place when player clicks
 if mouseclick()=1 and timer()>tim+300
  inc boxes
  tim=timer()
 endif

loop

The code snip above starts "boxes" at 1 and increases once everytime the mouse button is clicked. Having the sprite command before the if/then to check for the mouseclick gives you the same ability without having to put in another sprite command. I also put a timer in to slow it down... without it the number of sprites go through the roof.
