Random Spawning but with a count?

http_gamesalad

Hello, I would like to know how to achieve a random spawn but with a count every time.

I want to spawn an object all over the screen multiple times it doesn't matter where it spawns but I want there to be a count.. so lets say its first spawn happens but only 30 objects spawn, the second time it spawns I would like it to spawn 17, third time it spawns I want it to spawn 67 & ect.. completely random

In the actor you are spawning have it update a game level attribute when it is spawned, like:

Make an Integer Game Attribute named: actorCount

In the actor you are spawning put a Change Attribute Behavior:

Change Attribute actorCount to actorCount + 1

That way when one is spawned on screen it will keep a count and you can use it as you see fit.

@jamie_c‌ thanks you now how can I set a limit to the amount of spawns?

I made a second actor & put the display text in it so I can see how many it spawns

Set up a rule that says something like:

if actorCount is < 30

spawn your actor here...

This would limit the number of actors spawned to 30.

@jamie_c‌ hey sorry to bother you again but lets say I wanted to spawn a bunch of random actors at the same time example 10 at one time in a straight line how can I do this?

In the spawn behavior there is the spawn offset for X and Y location. You can use an Attribute there and increment it to spawn in a line.

Do these actors that are spawned need to interact with other actors or are they something interface related, like 10 hearts in a row to display player health? If that is the case you could just use a Replicate Behavior.
