spawining an actor smack dab in the middle of the screen LOL

digitalzero

so basically I'm just trying to spawn an actor saying "stage clear" right in the middle of the screen... i know that you would have to do it relative to the scene but sometimes when i try to get it to spawn its really off... my scene is bigger than the original 320 by 480 so you can see the problems that i have... idk i just want it to be right in the middle without any complications... i have tried pretty much everything and I'm pretty sure I'm just bypassing something thats going to be super simple... i tried to put it on a non scrollable layer but idk its still not really working the way i want it to... this should be super easy considering i made the image the size of the screen -____0 but i just want it to be completely in the middle... oh, i know the whole trick of dividing it by two and whatnot... yeah i don't think anything is working can someone please help me out?

i really like that! hmmmm i think i will do that... thanks so much for the suggestion... but wait... what if i already have an interpolate behavior and how would it know to turn the alpha to one... i don't wanna make another boolean behavior -__- hmmm decisions decisions.

You could do what uptimistik says or you could also start the actor off screen already so it can't be seen then just move it's X and Y coordinates to the center of the screen when your level is complete, again no spawning required.

im not too much worried about the spawning thing... because its another actor that triggers that actor so it would have to be an attribute that triggers it...

Is there gonna be camera movement goin on? Cause if so, u can constrained said actor to te center of the camera. He's gonna have be unlocked prototype and invisible until u call him tho. Cause regular prototype actors can use camera attribute. Just a thought!
