Hi guys I've tried for about 3 hours to get this to work but I'm not good enough yet sadly,,

problem, :- i want to achieve the following,

Actor dodges falling platforms, they are spawned randomly: left and right, and only move when the user touches the screen, like the tile tapping game,

But there can only be left or right platforms, but I don't want a left to spawn after a right without there being a space between left and right spawns i.e. not left, right, left, right, I want it to be left, space, right, so the user is able to dodge through, think pole position etc.. at the moment I can't figure out how to tell the code if left spawn is true, either spawn nothing next or spawn another left!

any help would be great.. thanks,

Socks

Very confusing question.

Use a timer? After 1 second spawn another falling platform?

Something like this?

Thanks I'll try that, only I didn't initially, as I have it set to a grid and the spawn is triggered when an actor collides with another actor, when the screen is taped the actors move down one grid space, thanks again for the suggestions guys,

@jay2dx You need to skip a line between the quoted text and your response. Otherwise, it looks like what you wrote was part of the quote. I've fixed the two posts directly above.

Hi guys whats the best practice when spawning actors so that there are no miss spawns!

i.e. tap the screen to spawn, actor is spawned and moves down its self size, and spawns an actor above, when this new actor moves down when touch is pressed it also spawns an actor above,

what i have now is if you tap really fast sometimes it doesn't spawn an actor above!

I have an self spawn to 1 when an event is triggered "i.e. a collision or self position is <1024" it spawns the actor above on "self spawn 1" and turns to self spawn to 0, and so on..

any help would be great

thanks jay..
