Gold Spawn Optimization Problem

Nexo55

hello

I make endless running game.
While gold spawn, live fps drop.
or shape of an article, I would spawn at a time.
for example, will create a z-shaped gold.
Will consist of 20-under.
I would spawn all at once.
While at 60 fps, dropping to 35.
gold, to create what the best algorithm?

How are you doing it at the moment? An actor that spawns 20 coins with 20 spawn actor behaviors attached to it? Or an actor with a timer that runs at 0 seconds with a counter, a rule that stops after 20, and one spawn actor behavior that uses an algorithm to place the spawned actor accordingly, based on the counter number?

I don't think I can help but you got me wondering what would be the best way myself now, and the best way to do other letters and even shapes

Build 20 units more than the bottom.

I don't know what you mean in your last post, but I mucked about with it yesterday by having 1 actor called "C" that spawns about 14 coin actors in the formation of a C, that all scrolled at a speed of about 180 in one direction (C was easier to build then a Z). It wasn't really laggy until I spammed the screen with them. I spawned the letter C everytime I pressed the C key.

I had 14 or 15 spawn actor behaviours on the C actor each with a particular x and y position as I found getting it to layout in correct formation with a loop a little messy.

I couldn't think of a smarter/sensible way with less code.
