So i have a project where i'm spawning an actor and i'm using tables to have specific spawn points. When the actor spawns it takes that spot out with "remove row". After so long the actor gets destroyed. How do i get it to where when the actor get's destroyed the row comes back available? right now its where when the row get's removed the actor wont spawn at that point again because the row get's removed. I need to add it back... i'm confused on how to do this. Any ideas?

    Instead of remove row you could make a new column (boolean) and change it to true when spawned and then false when destroyed and work your rules around the boolean?

    How would i do that? i used tshirtbooths tutorial on tables... how would i work it through a boolean? i know it would be using boolean instead of index but is it self explanatory? i'll look at it. but feedback on how to do it would be nice too :) thanks for the quick reply

    See our free tables template as it might help.

    Okay, another quick question though, i'm trying to get my new graphic in the project file and it wont drag and drop. Also i'm trying to add frames to my "animation" code and the images wont drag and drop there either. I've tried .png files and .psd files. Is there a specific file type i have to use?

    Which GS version are you using now? Drag and drop from images that has been imported into your project should be working properly. unless you are talking about dragging images from outside the project right into your animate condition. PNG format is the recommended file type.

    Yeah i figured that part out so the image portion of this post is answered already, BUT as for the boolean i haven't figured that out yet, working on that now. Thanks for the help everyone!
