Spawning actor in a specific layer

madmassey

Is there a good way to spawn a new object into a different layer than the object that spawned it? I have an actor that needs to appear on top of the UI layer, but the object that spawns it needs to be behind the UI layer.

You can spawn in front of actor or layer or back of actor or layer (if i remember right) but you can't spawn on a new layer.

You could use an actor on the UI to spawn it...make a rule in the object behind the UI layer something like game.spawn = true then in one of the actors on top of the UI layer do if game.spawn = true spawn actor...

Ah yeah man, I didn't even think about that lol. I made an actor in the UI layer called "Item Spawner" and it worked great, thanks!
