Using tables for spawn points for Multiple actors

Megaemman

I'm fairly new to using the tables in GameSalad i was wondering if i could use the same table and attribute to spawn different actors in different spawn points? I watched/followed the video on how to make the actors spawn at specific points i have the index for the spawn point and table in the game attributes section.



The rules for my actor:

My table:

So i was wonder is there a way to pick specific columns in the table to make this happen or do i just have to create a new table and a new spawn point attribute for each actor?

Something like this?

@tatiang yeah, so I would change the table cell value for each actor that I wanted to spawn at a specific spawn point.

So say i wanted another actor to follow rows 3 and 4 which represent the points i would like them to be spawned in.
tablecellvalue(game.table 1,3,game. spawn point) for the x values
tablecellvalue(game.table 1,4,game.spawn point) for the y values


UPDATE: Ok i tested it and its now working much better and i didn't even have to add another index attribute( I am loving these tables!)

Sounds like you got it!
