   Hi guys,
   
   I have a question about programmation that is too complicated to manage for my knowledge and maybe some of you can help me :-)
   
   The situation:
   
   The character of my game has 5 special powers that he can use.
   
   But... at the beginning he can use only 1 of the 5 powers at the time.
   
   Then during the game... he will be allowed to use 2 powers simultaneously, then 3 powers simultaneously, then 4 powers simultaneously and at the end 5 powers simultaneously.
   
   For the moment I only created a value called:
   
   ALLOWED_SIMULTANEOUSLY_POWERS
   (initial value: 1)
   
   and 5 variables, one each power, called:
   
   POWER_A
   POWER_B
   POWER_C
   POWER_D
   POWER_E
   (initial values: FALSE. Then when I select the different powers, the value of the selected power turns to TRUE)
   
   How can i program it? (if it's possible without LUA)
   
   Thank you in advance for your help!!!

   Yes , very easily by changing the conditions set for each power.

   You could make each power as a command in your interface. Setting the command to a, b, c, d, e is only allowed when the condition is true
