Why aren't these variables applying?

Hi all.

Just trying to spawn an enemy with some variables being applied to its Instance Variables. The result I'm getting is that they're all coming out as 0 when the enemy spawns, rather than containing these numbers.

I have a suspicion it's because I don't have the object (Goon) dragged on to the Layout in the editor. But I shouldn't need to if I'm Creating the object in the Events, should I?

For reference, Goon is a member of the Enemy family.

Thanks for any help.

Add one Goon to the layout, and on start of layout delete it.

You can also have a dummy layout just to have instaces to avoid problems like that.

Thanks for that Klabundee.

I just tried it and the variables show up fine, until the new instance is spawned - then the numbers all reset to 0 again.

With your method of using a dummy layout, do I run the risk of affecting the dummies every time my Event sheet calls an Enemy?

I've been playing around with it, and it seems to work when I specify Goon in the action, instead of the Enemy family. Does anyone know why using the family doesn't work here please?

Can you share your project? Let me see if i can fix it
