Hello!

I'm having some spawning issues. I can't find a way to properly spawn my ennemies.

What I have is several spawning points. On start of the layout, I assign a number per spawning point. What I want is when an enemy has spawn, I want this spawning point to be off. That's why I have a variable "isBusy".

I tried different methods, but I didn't manage to have something good. I'm a bit lost with the picking process. Do you have an idea?

Use Timer behavior on the spawner sprites. When an enemy is spawned, set isBusy=true and start the Timer "MakeAvialable".

Spawner On Timer "MakeAvialable" -> Spawner set isBusy=false

See this example I made for another post some time ago:

Thanks a lot, all of those are perfect examples!

I totally forgot about the Timer behavior which could be some great help.
