spawn same actor with different attribute

Icebox

Hello is there a way to do this :

I have 3 enemy actors on scene ( all the same actor just dublicates)

Enemy1 = if touch is pressed > spawn actor1 that have self.integer 1.
Enemy2 = if touch is pressed > spawn actor1 that have self.integer2.
Enemy3 = if touch is pressed > spawn actor1 that have self.integer3.

I can do it by spawning different actors but ill need so many so i got stuck, is this possible ?

thanks

You can "pass" an attribute value from one actor to another using this method:

Give the enemy actor a self integer attribute. In each instance on the scene, manually assign the value of that attribute. Or, if you prefer, you can assign it any other way you like (e.g. by retrieving an attribute or table cell value).

In the enemy actor, change attribute game.spawnerID to self.ID. Then spawn actor 1.

In actor 1, change attribute self.ID to game.spawnerID. This should not be inside of a rule.
