Spawn Enemies in the near of the Player

Hello,

Ive created a game like Doodle Jump, now i want to create enemies.

I want that the Enemies will spawn in the near from the Player. But not to

close, so that the player can jump 4-5 Platforms and there is the Enemie.

Why not randomly create the enemy together with each platform (that is allowed to hold enemies)?

Or check the position of your player (player.y) and run a enemy creation function that creates an enemy on a random platform 600 till 1000 pixels above the player (or other values).

To do so just use system -> pick (platform) by comparison and compare the y-values.

Or if enemies are to be in the air, just let the system create an enemy and set their locations in relation to your players position.

like x: player.x+floor(random(400)) y: player.x+600+floor(random(400))

How can i spawn randomly Enemies?

I dont understand how i can spawn the enemys in the Air and on the Platform randomly.

I can let them spawn just in the air and much as platforms they are, but i want that i can say, that i want, that the enemies spawn just for 5%

Event:

every random(1.5,4) seconds

Action:

system--> create object

Player.x + random(-100,101)

Player.Y

Thanks first, one poblem is there, the Enemies dont spawn a little bit away, they spawn there, where the Player is, is it possible to change ?

That the Monster is much higher than the player?

Oh, had a typo ^^

Increase the numbers.

x: player.x+floor(random(400)) y: player.y-600-floor(random(400))

or

system--> create object

Player.x + random(-100,101)

Player.Y -1000

exactly, just increase the numbers.

Okey, how can i make it, that the Enemies will directly spawn on a Platform and not in the Air ?

push

+ System: for each order by distance (random.X(copy your current random calculation), random.Y, platform.X, platform.Y)

• Platform: Spawn Enemie or whatever
• System: Stop loop

But please forward of asking to much try it by your own, you will learn much more ;)

For Each (Ordered) ?

And then Use Objekt = Platform

Order = descending ?

And Expression = (random.X(copy your current random calculation), random.Y, platform.X, platform.Y)

???

Bump - Sorry for that, but its my last question for finishing my game.

Can you help me one more time ? I dont understand it.

For Each (Ordered) ?

And then Use Objekt = Platform

Order = descending ?

And Expression = (random.X(copy your current random calculation), random.Y, platform.X, platform.Y)

Or what did you mean?

If have done something like this before:

+ Every 2 seconds

++ For each platform order by distance ascending (distance(player.x, player.y - Variable, self.X, self.Y))

-- Platform Spawn Enemie on Imagepoint(0)

-- stop loop

+ = Condition

• = Action

Variable = A number which says how much the platform with the enemie must be away from the player

Is it clear now ?
