Spawning random actors in game

MadCursor

Hi everyone! Does anybody know, how to spawn random actors from/in one point in GameSalad? Please help!

Are you trying to spawn a single actor in random positions? Or are you trying to spawn multiple actors but choose a random one?

Hi! I want random actors to spawn in one position

Let's say you have five different actors and you want a random one to spawn every 3 seconds.

If you don't mind them repeating, just use a timer set to every 3 seconds and in the timer place a change attribute behavior and select an integer attribute. In the expression editor for that behavior, add random(1,5). Below that, add a rule for each possible value of the attribute:

When game.choice = 1
Spawn actor [actor name]

When game.choice=2
Spawn actor [another actor name]

Etc.
