Also, in my main actor where the spell is spawned:

On your spawner,

Spawn actor: Left Spell for 1 second animate etc..

In other words what is worse - 20 unique actors or 20 copies of the same actor?

one small rule spawn actor random(0,320) will run a lot better.

You could spawn an actor in a certain area and give it velocity with a random angle. To constrain it you could create invisible rectangular actors and use 4 of them to make a "fence"

hi people , I'm trying to get actors to spawn in random places within a certain parameter and get them to move randomly in the same parameter.

not unlimited. They've said numerous times that spawning takes a lot of resources. I'm sure this is something they are working on improving, but try recycling actors. Try move instead of spawn. It's

Again, I spawn playerShield on top of my Player.

Forgive me, I'm not familiar with your game, but perhaps spawning four separate actors every time you shoot is a bit much? If you can combine these graphic effects onto a smaller number of actors, or

1. When the game reaches 'end of level', spawn a change scene button at X,Y relative to scene

SDMG - I would not spawn them. I would have the set off screen that way they are preloaded with the scene. The use the move function to move them randomly like u want. Spawning really does take a lot

JGary321 ... not be able to spawn 1/10 of what?

Trust me when I say you will not be able to spawn that many actors without the iPhone chugging to a halt. You won't be able to spawn 1/10th of that. Figure out a different way. Keep in mind spawning t

i spawn them with a timer --- like the example above... and when the level start you sometimes can see how they were spawned... but it looks ok for me ( very dynamic (Image)

The number of spawns wasn't really the issue, that was just a number out of the air.

hmm ... you definitly don't have to spawn 100 copies for this kind of game (Image)

beside this... have you tried to spawn every 0.001 sec instead of 0.1?

Spawning takes up a lot of memory. In my experience, just spawning two actors every .25 seconds caused my game to chug a lot (along with a maximum of three other actors spawning every few seconds).

Say I want to instantly spawn 100 copies of an actor, how do I go about that?
