Spawn & move actor

wannadude

How do i spawn a actor every 5 seconds and let the spawned actor move to the right?
And then how do i let the spawned actor disappear outside of the screen? (When it was moved to the right)

Thanks.

Spawner actor
Timer every 5 seconds
     Spawn actor [actor name]

Spawned actor
Move [direction: 0] [speed: 100 or 200 or whatever]

The actor will automatically "disappear" when it moves beyond the screen boundary. If you want, you can add a rule to destroy it when its self.position.x value is greater than the scene width.

thanks mate, but can i let this happen after a few seconds? so they got time to prepare??
And also the problem right now is that they only spawn if i have already an actor in game?

Your spawner actor will need to be placed in the scene before you run the game.

If you want to spawn the actor and then have it wait a few seconds and then have it more, just add a timer to the spawned actor, set to "AFTER x seconds" and put the move behaviour inside it.

I want the first actor to come 2 seconds later, so not first an actor and then 4 sec before the next one. And can i let the actor's come in a random order you now? Now i got it like every 2 seconds. But i wanna make stages (For example: Stage 1 every 2 sec, Stage 2 every 1 sec, Stage 3 random [So 0.5 sec, 1 sec, 0.3 sec, 2 sec]) I hope you get it

Create a new integer attribute (I call it game.y) and set it to 2 as standard. Then use the following:

Rule:
If Attribute game.y >= 1

Do:
Timer Every game.y seconds
Spawn Actor x
Change Attribute game.y to game.y-1

Else:
Timer Every random(0.1,2) seconds
Spawn Actor x
