Spawning Question

carlblanchet

Is it possible to get a spawner to check if an actor is already currently spawned in a location from a table before spawning another actor under it?

Because I have actors spawning randomly from a coordinates table and the actor gets destroyed when clicked, but until it is clicked I want it that no actor can spawn there.

Could I possibly get the row with those x and y coordinates to take itself out when spawned, and actually put the row back in the table when destroyed? If so, how?

Thanks!!

one simple way is to have the actor √ if overlapped or collided with another

on the spawnedActor:
set self.Color.Alpha to 0

Rule: when
Attribute: self.Time ≤ 0.15
-Rule: when
-Event: overlaps or collides with (another actor in that place)
--ChangeAttribute: self.Position.X To tableCellValue (a randomX)
--ChangeAttribute: self.Position.Y To tableCellValue (a randomY)
Otherwise: changeAttribute: self.Color.Alpha To: 1
