Make a duplicate actor with no behaviors, then destroy your first actor and spawn the new actor when your first actor is hurt. There are probably other ways.

Without some sort of array/indexing and proper actor-to-actor communication (or at least obtaining a reference or handle to a spawned actor), there is no real easy way.

Hey there, I'm trying to figure out something in relation to a game I'm working on. Basically I want the main actor to be able to move (with touch controls for iPad) and have a "trail&quo

the text field is incorrect). Its like if you spawn yourself more than once...you break any and all default values preset in the actor.

I stuck with the project...and am looking to spawn to workaround.

In my game, when it starts up there are about 25 actors with "move to" rules which move the actors into and out of the screen. They spawn normally outside of the screen.

You could always use a combination of both. Spawn an actor every .2 seconds or so, and continuously spawn particles. Shouldn't hit your fps too hard.

Your mileage may vary, but I would definitely test on a device if you are trying to spawn lots of actors - especially the older devices.

It's for projectile purposes, so maybe i'm best to stick with 1 of's and spawn them? Can the particles be used in collisions?

I would not Spawn Actors. That will definitely crash the device. Spawning is one of the most processor-intensive things you can do.

I've been trying to create a steady stream of actors to mimic water coming out of a hose... I've tried to spawn the actors, but it seems like there might be a limit to GS for this - All I get is a co

I knew about the spawn replacement workaround...

One solution, and it is not ideal of course, is to destroy/spawn a new copy of the Actor when its velocity gets <= 0.

to create unique cloned actors.

If you want to spawn a new soldier for the next round, you add to the life bar (or any other actor which spawns your soldier):

A simple way would be to make a duplicate actor without the acceleration and animation. Then put a rule on your first actor that when what ever determines he dies happens, spawn actor 2 and destroy th

I left a developer-only feature in my game. When I pressed a certain key, another fireball would spawn. If someone hooks up a keyboard to the iPad, is this cheat going to work for them?

Im trying to make a game similar to Cannon physics where the longer you hold down the mouse click the higher the power bar goes up and the further the spawned actor goes. I have tried for days and can

There's a lot of variables to this one. Some questions I ask myself when deciding to spawn or move:
