If you have a "Controller" object that has a line of code to create an asteroid, I would add the asteroid to the array at that same spot. If the asteroids aren't created, but instead start off in the room, then I think your only option is to use the create event in the asteroid object. As for the check, I wouldn't put it in the asteroid's step event, because then you'd have every asteroid checking the same thing (inefficiency). I would put the check in the step event of an object that there's only one of, such as the player. | |

If it would be in the create event, would I just have code in the script to basically add the current instance to the array? I'm assuming then that the check for the array length would go in the step event for the asteroid? | |
