spawning obstacles

Vicco

hey guys!
i'm currently working on a simple endless runner and want to spawn obstacles that travel towards the player. Although I watched several tutorials, I can't seem to get the hang of spawning several objects. Instead, all my project does is spawning one actor and that's it (despite me wrapping the spawning behaviour in a timer).
hope you guys can help me out with this one and thanks for your response in advance. cheers

I have a tutorial, linked below, about creating an endless runner using Gamesalad. It will show you how to create repeating/endless platforms, you would use the same logic and rules to create any obstacles you need too.

hey jamie, thanks for your quick response.
first of all, let me say that your tutorials are great work and have helped me a lot throughout with my game. as it happens, i was also busily following your endless runner tutorial, yet that's exactly when my problem occurred. i did everything exactly as you said in your tutorial. I implemented spawned and startY attributes yet it just keeps on spawning only one obstacle...

Have you downloaded the source files? If not do that and double check your rules against the ones in the working file.

If you were following my tutorial for your game it sounds like you might have an error in the Rules I had titled "Spawn the next Platform".

If you're able to post an image of your rules maybe I can see something in them...
