Spawning Preset

Hello guys. Two Questions:

1) I need to make a sprite spawn some fireballs at determinated positions, many times, in a order that I want.

Let me explain better.

I have a Witch who spawns 4 fireballs at 5 random locations.

How can I create a preset, I mean, how can I pre determinate the order and the position at which the fireballs are spawned, without consuming a lot of my time on the process? That's because the witch will spawn about 100+ FireBalls per stage.

2) Actually, i'm using this code:

But sometimes, some fireballs are spawned at the same Y Coordinates. How can I set them to spawn exactly four, but always at different Y? (being it 100, or 200, 300, 400 and 500)

Appreciate the help!

For the first fireball you want spawned put like every 5 seconds or something then spawn it at the position you want.

Then do the same but every 5.6 seconds then the next one 6 seconds and so on and so on. Is that what you needed?

Use a loop when creating the objects, every time the loop runs, add 1 to a variable "varY" and create an object at random X and 100*varY.

Guess it's more like Nimtrixs said. Can you explain me better , how to use this loop?

You can use any kind of loop, really, but here's an example of the "While" loop:

Thanks! Now things get complicated.

Let's say I have this CSV file, with 5 lines and lets say, 20 columns.

How do I make the construct read this CSV, and if, at the column 1:

Line 1 value is 1, spawn one fireball at Y = 100,

Line 2 value is 3, spawn three fireballs at Y = 200

Line 3 value is 0, spawn 0 Fireballs At Y = 300

Line 4 value is 1, spawn 0 Fireball at Y = 400

Line 5 value is 2, spawn Two Fireballs at Y = 500

Did I make that clear? Then, after let's say, two seconds, the cicle goes on, but now reading column 2. Then3, 4, And So on.

Please, somebody help :(

Here is an example of a CSV:

CSV,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20

First,1,2,1,1,1,0,1,2,2,0,3,0,2,0,0,1,1,1,2,12

Second,2,2,0,1,2,1,1,1,2,1,1,0,2,3,3,3,1,2,2,0

Tirth,0,0,1,0,0,2,1,0,3,1,3,0,2,1,3,2,3,0,0,0

Fourth,1,0,3,1,3,2,0,2,3,2,3,1,0,2,1,0,2,3,2,0

Fifth,0,0,0,1,2,0,1,1,0,1,2,0,1,0,2,2,0,3,3,0

The idea is to spawn that amount of fireball at Y (100, if in the first line, 200 if in the second, 300 thirth, 400 fourth, 500 fifth) at every 2 seconds, for example. This is done, let's say, 40 times at the first stage and 60 at the second.

Please tell me if my question is clear enough.

Looks like I managed to read the CSV. But I can't spawn 2 or more FireBalls =\</p>

Like this?
