How to random spawn actors?? PLEASE HELP

connormaxlin

I am trying to make a game but I got stuck. I want 20 actors to fall from another actor randomly. How should I do that???

Thanks

What about them do you want to be random? Their speed, direction, position, color, image, age, weight, sex, religion, salary, hair style...?

There spawn. When they fall, I want them to fall randomly.

Thank you

open Basic Shoot em Up project on GameSalad, look at the behaviors of "spawner" actor

Hmm...

If there will always be 20, you're are better off just putting them in the scene out of view instead of spawning.

With all of the actors on the scene, I would create a rule that says when self.time is > random(1,30). That would make it so that all of the actors fall at some point between 1 and 30 secs into the level.
