Spawning Actors at Random every 2 seconds in a repeat cycle

aidanshaw92

Hi,

First time writing in the forum.

I am currently working on windows.

I have 4 different actors that I would like to spawn separately at random every 2 seconds.

I have tried watching YouTube tutorials but can’t find a clear tutorial on how to do it.

For example create a random appearance as per list below.

Actor 1
Actor 2
Actor 1
Actor 3
Actor 1
Actor 4

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Make an attribute, let's call it 'X'.

Timer
--Every 2 seconds
----Change X to random (1,4).

When X is 1
--Spawn Actor 1

When X is 2
--Spawn Actor 2

When X is 3
--Spawn Actor 3

When X is 4
--Spawn Actor 4

Im also fairly new to game salad, so still picking up the processes.

I have created an Integer attribute called 'X'

Timer
-- Every 2 seconds
--- Change Attribute
---Game.X to Random(1,4)

Where do I put in 'when x is 1'

Thanks

You might find this video helpful - it will cover the whole process.

ps: create an actor - call it for example spawner. inside the spawner create all the rules mentioned by @Socks (when x is 1 -- spawn actor 1 etc...)
then place the 'spawner' actor anywhere on your game scene.
