Random Spawning

TJMNUT

I'm making a game where an actors (all the same actors) are spawning down from the sky, they need to show up in random locations. So I followed TShirtBooths tutorial on spawning random actors in random locations, but I don't need random actors I just need one type of actor spawning. I tried altering the tutorial, but nothing happened, please help me, what should I do.

So you want one single type of actor to spawn at random locations, all falling from the sky?

Use TSB's video on spawning random actors but only use one "spawn actor" behavior and put in the single actor that you want spawned.

When do you sleep TSB?

I have an actor above the scene(my scene is a portrait game). My actor has a timer, every 2 seconds run to completion spawn actor:(actor) in front of actor direction 0, sideways position random (10,630) position upwards 965, relative to scene relative to scene. I previewed it, but nothing happened. What should I do? Do I have to have the spawned actor in the scene, do I add an accelerate attribute to the spawned actor, what do I do?

have you added gravity to your character(object being spawned)?...ie. accelerate downward (i think 270 off the top of my head) and then set a number 100 or 200 or whatever. that might be it because your actor is spawning off screen but unless you tell that to do something it wont move.
