    text
    copied!<p>I have a game I am making: <a href="http://www.taffatech.com/DarkOrbit.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.taffatech.com/DarkOrbit.html</a></p> <p>What I want to be able to do is when I kill a certain amount of enemies it will level up. This part is working, however I also want the spawn amount to increase when you level up.</p> <p>In my loop function:</p> <pre><code>function Loop() { if (isPlaying == true) { updateLevel(); //this updates the level but it calls it every frame which might be bad. Player1.draw(); drawAllEnemies(); updateStats(); requestAnimFrame(Loop); } </code></pre> <p>The update level function:</p> <pre><code>function updateLevel() { if(Player1.enemiesKilled &lt;3) { level = 1; } else if(Player1.enemiesKilled &gt; 3 &amp;&amp; Player1.enemiesKilled &lt;= 9) { level = 2; } else if(Player1.enemiesKilled &gt; 9 &amp;&amp; Player1.enemiesKilled &lt;=18) { level = 3; } else if(Player1.enemiesKilled &gt; 18 &amp;&amp; Player1.enemiesKilled &lt;= 38) { level = 4; } else if(Player1.enemiesKilled &gt; 38 &amp;&amp; Player1.enemiesKilled &lt;= 70) { level = 5; s } else if (Player1.enemiesKilled &gt; 120) { level = 6; } if(level == 1) { spawnAmount = 1; } else if(level == 2) { spawnAmount = 2; } else if(level == 3) { spawnAmount = 3; } else if(level == 4) { spawnAmount = 4; } else if(level == 5) { spawnAmount = 5; } else if(level == 6) { spawnAmount = 6; } } </code></pre> <p>spawn enemy function:</p> <pre><code>function spawnEnemy(number) //total enemies starts at 0 and every-time you add to array { for (var x = 0; x &lt; number; x++) { enemies[enemies.length] = new Enemy(); } } </code></pre> <p>My init:</p> <pre><code>function init() { spawnEnemy(spawnAmount); drawMenu(); sndIntro.play(); document.addEventListener('click', mouseClicked ,false); } </code></pre> <p>I tried adding: spawnEnemy(spawnAmount); to after I change the spawn amount global var in the updateLevel function but as this gets called every frame it makes hundreds of enemies fly at me. How can I solve this problem?</p> <p>If I try something like this hundreds of enemies are genrated, I assume because it gets called every frame:</p> <pre><code>if(level == 1) { spawnAmount = 1; spawnEnemy(spawnAmount); } </code></pre>
