3) AH! *bonk to head*, your spawn looper setup is pretty much the same as mine. BUT, you are spawning the same actor as the Spawner. So, each actor that spawns will evaluate the rules and spawn anothe

I'm trying to spawn a specific number of actors randomly around my scene and have them not overlap. So far I've only been able to get 1 to spawn when I'm expecting 5. What am I doing wrong?

The bundle identifier is the unique string that identifies your application to the system. This compares to the display name (namespaces are usually prefixes in frameworks), which is what iOS uses to

Thanks so much! I actually got the same result a bit differently. I didn't spawn and destroy the icon as I didn't see the need, instead I just had it spawn the gun with alpha at 0 at the beginning o

I was going to say I don't think so, but then I had an idea for how it might work. Have the gun icon spawn a gun but have the gun's self.color.alpha set to 0 so it's hidden. Then when you touch the

Thanks for your comments. Yeah I can make this work, to confirm this is clicking to spawn the gun, moving it into place (with the mouse button up) and then clicking to lock it into place. However, h

I'm creating a pinball-esque game, but instead of the plunger up the side I just want to spawn the ball from the middle of the table.

Looking for some expert advice! I'm trying to set it up so I touch an icon (actor) which then spawns another actor on top of it, let's say a gun which can then be moved into position on the screen.

It seems that most people concentrated on the way to spawn things recursively -- and how much faster that is than any looping method to spawn things. I didn't think that would be the big deal. (Altho

No problem! Don't know much about tables yet, but I would imagine you could use something like this to spawn levels. Like setting the floor and platform coordinates and spawn the appropriate actors fo

1. I'm making a tetris like game where objects randomly spawn from the top of the screen, fall to the bottom and stack. If they stack to the top, the game is over. I'm having a hard time figuring out

The answer is not in the platforms, is in the enemy spawns!

If you were to use spawn every second then each platform would need to be 113.6 pixels wide.

@Socks do you have any advices on how can I calculate the spawn rate with the width and speed?

But putting that issue aside for a moment, how have you calculated the width of each platform piece in relation to the rate at which they are spawned ? 1 second for the spawn rate seems like an arbitr

Fair enough, we'll have to disagree here, for me on the simple question of whether generating new actors through spawn and destroy impacts performance and memory usage I'd say 'no', loading those acto

Hello everyone, I am having trouble making my spawning platforms look evenly as they appear in the right side of the screen and move to the left. I don't want spaces to appear and I really need to kee

I see what you mean, and I respect it, but my way of working and testing performance is not relying on how the engine handles spawning vs recycling actors just like that, cause in the real world, in a

I think it's important we don't conflate the spawing / destroy method itself with what is being spawned, of course spawning hundreds of fire balls with animations and particles and their own audio (an

I also stopped recycling but my reason was different, in my project I had 60 optional different actors that may be spawned, at first I used the recycling method (that was about 10 months ago) but the
