i am working on a jump n run game and it is going great!
i got it almast all done but i want some of the platforms to have objects on them like stars monsters and more. any idea how to do that?(the platforms come in to the screen by spawn actor).

i have a quick solution for you,
create 2 game.attributes - real - call them collectiblesX and collectiblesY
now:
in you platform actor create an attribute - integer - call it "spawn collectibles"
and put change attribute in the actor :
change self.spawn collectibles to random(1,10)
Than make a rule in the actor:
if self.spawn collectibles = 10
spawn star .
Constrain game.collectiblesX to self.Position.X
Constrain game.collectiblesY to self.Position.Y+50 (or any other number cause you want the star to be on the platform)
in your star actor
make 2 constrains:
Constrain self.Position.X to game.collectiblesX
Constrain self.Position.Y to game.collectiblesY
that way it will follow the platform.

This method will work for you but i suggest you just spawn start/monsters anyway on the screen and not constrain them to the platforms cause constrains take lots of resources and decrease FPS.
