This has been troubling me for about a week now

So I have an actor within the scene. In one scene, I have the actor always spawning to the right without any problems. But in the other scene, I want to move the actor to the left and I'm having trouble. I've tried everything but nothing seems to work.

What I want is to move it to the left on a specific x and y coordinate and leave it to keep spawning itself on those set numbers. Is there anyway I can do this?

So, you have an actor that spawns to the right (I don't know what that means), and you want move another actor in another scene to the left ?

Don't know what that means either ?

Not really sure what any of this mean, but I'm easily confused !

If you could remove any ambiguity from your question I'll give it a shot !

I think what he's saying is that he wants to spawn the actor by default on the right side of the screen. But on one scene, he either wants to spawn it on the right and move it to the left, and then have all future spawns be to that new, left-hand location, or he's saying he wants on that scene for the actor to always spawn on the left.

But it really isn't clear.

Ok I'll try and rephrase it. You know flappy bird right? And how the pipes spawn to the right of the screen or whatnot?

I want to have my actor(s) in my scene spawn to the left of the screen and not the right.
Making sense?

Then just change the location they are spawned at. When spawning an object you choose where it will be spawned - either by moving the actor that spawns them or by changing the X and Y spawn positions.

I understand what you're saying, but the thing is that I want the actor to keep spawning itself when it's outside of the viewing area.

You can spawn actors wherever you want them, if you want them to spawn 'to the left' of the screen then simply enter the relevant coordinates into the spawn behaviour.

[EDIT: Armelline beat me to it, basically what white rabbit said]

ShortAxe5

Lol thanks but I'm still pretty new to this. How exactly does the spawn actor behavior work?

It's not specific as to where I should put my x and y coordinates.
