You can do it this way i attached a demo hope it helps
If your Hero actor wont move right and left, you can avoid constraining its position to a game attribute , you can do it this way
if self.position x is < 900 and self.position.x is > 568
display text
Another mystery solved
Thank you
A couple of quick notes, you don't need to constrain the hero's X position as there is nothing changing the hero's x position - also you cannot have a random value for an 'every' timer, 'every' means 'all' of something / 'all' of a set, so whereas every-2-seconds makes sense, every-differing-value doesn't make much sense !
Or to put it another way, saying a shop opens every Saturday makes sense, saying a shop opens every random day doesn't make much sense, there would be no use for the word 'every' here.
Anyhow, basically an every-random timer doesn't work, the timer will simply generate a random value and use that single random value for every iteration.
Hope that makes sense !
@Socks Yes I already mentioned no need to constrain if the hero wont move , but the random every timer , i didnt think of it this way before , your right it makes sense now
@Socks how would i make this ? i just noticed now it really doesnt work
I did it alot before and never noticed , so
if i wanted to spawn after random number of seconds , and repeat the same timer over and over, I will have to put it in a condition with a game attribute ? Is this the way to approach it ?
I do it like this . . .
After random(x,y)
--Spawn something
--Destroy
--Spawn this actor
@Socks nice ! thanks alot
If you want to limit the amount of spawns (let's say to 200) . . . make a game.attribute, let's call it 'S'.
When S is < 200
--Change S to S+1
--After random(x,y)
----Spawn something
----Destroy
----Spawn this actor
Hi I have a little problem. I managed to set up the alerts on the left and right side, following @Icebox method. But I failed to do it on up side.
Can you advise me on these?

The links dont open for some reason, sorry ! But its easy to do just wrap a condition to keep track of how close it is to the hero's y position.
In the enemy actor
if self.position y is < maximum y position and
self.position y is > minimum y position (so its between these 2 values)
display text, relative to the scene at the positions you want
They open fine. Try a different browser. Or a zoom button on the left side please.
I tried it doesnt display anything just a blank page , maybe its a regional thing ,anyway here is an explanation i think you will get it by your own. Good luck !
Try this one

I have provided the rules but i don't know what is wrong with them
Yes get rid of the constrain and make it the way i mentioned above
it will work
My way it does work but, the ''!'' is flying around like crazy, i just want it to be next to the screen edge and follow bird's position.
Also my scene height is bigger than showed and I understand the concept, but having trouble maintaining alert's position.
Your problem is here , adjust its position the way you want , x is horizontal and y is vertical. Horizontal should be self.position.x and vertical is a fixed number for the top edge.
I just had them mixed up. I see, I see
