Well, definitely not there or there! Those are off bounds!

But the question remains:

Straight where? Straight left, or straight right? Straight up, straight down? Straight at the player/screen?

You'll have to describe what you want a little better.

Hello, @SkyDivingGames

There are different ways of moving an actor - spawned or not.

If you're not worried about collision not working, then add into your Prototype actor in the library (the one to be spawned):

Interpolate self.Actor.Position.X to ---an x coordinate just outside your screen
Time: however fast you want it to go

If collision is relevant, use the Move To behaviour, or change the velocity to more than 0, or the Move behaviour with a Destroy behaviour when it reaches a point outside of your screen.

Please read through the FAQs, especially the first section on Cookbook links: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/66768/forum-faq#latest.

Once you familiarize yourself with GameSalad, you'll have a better idea how it works. There are also countless videos that will help you get started (e.g. Google GameSalad movement.

strait up. kinda like space invaders when you fire.

As, @gyroscope‌ writes. In the case of up, you'll want to work with the Y coordinates instead of X.

As has been said, read through the Cookbook, as well as the Manual - because what you're asking is very basic which you could learn easily first.

Straight up is moving in the y direction - choose any one of my suggestions but changing the x coordinate for the Y one.

Edit: @pHghost beat me to that one...

Ok, thank for the help.

That, right there, is a T-shirt.

Here's a very basic demo project - just two actors.

Use the left and right keys to move, use the space bar to fire (spawn an actor that moves up).
