randomly spawning two actors together.

I've been learning GS for a couple of weeks now, and have run into a small problem.

I've setup a scene with three spawn points, from these spawners I have particular actors randomly spawning which are programed to move across the screen. I would like to spawn alongside these actors another actor which will be constrained to the movement of the first spawned actor.

The first actor is a target that you can shoot, the second actor is its shadow.

I did have all my actors previously loaded of screen and waiting for a timer command to instruct when to move across the screen. This method allowed me to constrain a shadow actor, which gave the game a 3D feel.

Is there a simple method to tie my semi transparent actor (shadow) to the target as its spawned and moves across the screen.

Apologies for being a Noob, but my background is architectural design and 3D work... programing and commands quite new to me. I'm having to rewire my thinking when I use GS.

well the simplest way is just to create your image with a shadow and spawn that.

If that is not an option for, you then do this

To get them both on screen together you can set up your Target actor to spawn it's shadow by adding a spawn behavior to it.
