Can somebody show me a timer spawn actor setup as I've been beating myelf all day over this and it doesn't work without collide or touch is pressed of another actor as trigger. Do I need game timer atribute for this to work

    The "timer" that spawns must be in an actor that is valid/live in the current scene. Most people appear to be putting spawn behavior in an invisible actor they call "SceneController" or something. That actor then sits off the edge of the screen or what not and controls things in the scene.

    If you are having an actor spawn itself (i.e. from an initial manually placed actor), extra precaution must be made to keep track of number of spawned actors (since it could get out-of-hand in certain scenarios) as well as make sure the spawning happens before the actor doing the spawning is destroyed.

    Also, double-check to make sure the behavior is in the prototype actor (since I saw you had issues with that in another thread).
