How do I create asteroid belt

ok here is my plan

i want to have 1 invisible object that will spawn asteroids in a arc shape

kinda like eve online

so in my space system i want spawn a few of there

but the numbers of asteroids may vary per belts

some may spawn 15 rocks while the others may spawn 30 rocks

and they all spawn different type of rock in each belt

so 1 belt can have 4 type and the other may have 7 types

can anyone make it as a c2 or c3 downloadable file for me please please

Would this work for you?:

Tap any key to toggle motion.

You can add extra belts by duplicating the spawner object.

Set the variables on the spawner object to alter the belt's properties:

no = belt number - this will be assigned to the asteroids in that belt and is used to set the asteroid's frame no

eOriginX & Y = the origin points for the ellipse that the asteroids in that belt follow

spawnNo = the number of asteroids in the belt, determined by spawnMin/Max

speed = the speed of the asteroids around the origin

sizeMin/Max = limits of asteroid size

eAngleOffset = angle of the ellipse

angleMin/Max = limits for initial spawning of asteroids

bandWidth = band within which asteroids will spawn, added to ellipse width/height

eWidth/eHeight = ellipse size. Set these values equal for a circle

I cribbed heavily off this thread, so shout out and big ups to R0J0hound and cincipon:

ty will study it

hummm to create random asteroids you have to create many version of the same spawner ?

Only one spawner per belt - it's a lot easier to handle than trying to create multiple belts from a single spawner

then how can i make it to spawn different types in one single belt

i think if i make it spawn a container instead and then work on that container to spawn a diff asteroid i think its my best solution

If you want different types in one belt you can add different animation or frames to the asteroid object and use the "choose" expression to pick a random animation/frame in the event where the asteroid is created.

yeah i tought about it right afther and then do a frame check

ok hi all here is what i want to do

when im in range of the asteroid

i want to click on it so then a lazer animation will make a line between the spaceship and the rock how can i make it ?
