2 different enemy images?

ChirpinGames

Hey all, just wondering if its possible to have an enemy spawner that after 4 secs randomly spawns one of two different images?

Yes, yes it is possible.

Have a timer - as you suggested.
Make an attribute - say 'Random Spawn'.

When timer goes off
Change attribute Random Spawn to Random (1,2)

Then have a rule
If attrubute Random Spawn = 1, then spawn actor type 1
If attribute Random Spawn = 2, then spawn actor type 2

That should do it.

Hope that helps,

How do I make a rule "If attrubute Random Spawn = 1, then spawn actor type 1"?

I can only set true or false if I make a rule with attributes.

You need to use an integer Attribute. When you click the plus sign to add Attributes, make sure you choose Integer.

You use it like this:

Change Attribute
self.myRandomImage to random(1,totalNumberofImages)

Then some Rules like this:

Rule
When self.myRandomImage = 1
Change Image To image1.png

Rule
When self.myRandomImage = 2
Change Image To image2.png

etc...

Hope this helps!

Super! It worked! Thanks!

To be honest, I used this for spawning bonuses after a collision, but it works fine.

When actor X collides with actor Y, actor Y drops a random bonus from a set of 3 possible bonuses.

Works like a charm.
