I'm probably just having a brain fart, but it doesn't seem as if the player in my game is spawning. I'm not sure what to do. For debugging, I have an alert when the player spawns. It doesn't seem to be going off:

Am I even using this action right? Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, you need to explain what "You.ObjectTypeName" means?

If you want to create a random object from the Players family, just do "Create Players".

If you need to create a player of a particular type, use "Create by name" action and make sure that You.ObjectTypeName variable contains the valid object name. Run the project in debug mode to check.

It looks like You.ObjectTypeName is blank. What can I do about that?
