hello imjustmike

the tutorial show how to vary points on the creen all my actors are comming from a single direccion moving from right to lefth, they are not appering in defferent points, i need the the condition to be within 1 spawn point to change the image of the character ramdomly, i most note to you every character has its own animation.

i think tables would be the answear but i dont know how to assing a character to a table value.

forget about the table if you have a better solution. just help please

Each character/actor will need its own animation, then the spawner calls that actor to spawn it.

If you want to set a limit on how many of the enemy you want on the screen, you need to set GAME level attributes

MaxEnemies (interger)
for example. which is what I have used in the example attached

You make an actor called SPAWNER and then set alpha to 0 so no one can see it. Then the rules above you place in there. Replacing Enemy images with your characters.

hi jigglybean i already have movement on each character and spawing, the problem is i have single spanner for each one and each actor has a timer to spawn ramdom every 1 to 9 seconds, the over lapping is the problem i just added ramdom speed changes in velocity but its not the intention i just need o actor a a time ramdom not in loop order. i have yello, blue and red. check out this example of the game
