How do I randomly spawn an actor in between a certain area?

How would I spawn an actor into a random area such as in between the white space? (just make up dimensions for the area, just need an example) Thanks!

@jacob717,

Let's say your white area starts at x=400, ands at x=460 (I don't really know, but you get the picture).

At its simplest, your Spawn behaviour should spawn the actor at x=value between 400 and 460, y = value between 0 and highest value of y (depending on game size).

From there, then you would build your conditions on how to spawn - timer, score, whathaveya.

Good luck!

I can't get it to work

What happened? Spawn at the wrong place or no spawn? If wrong place, then recheck your x and y ranges. If no spawn, do you have an actor invoking the spawn actor behavior?

Here's a demo.
