Object spawner

Behavior actions

Restart the cool down of a spawner.

Maximum quantity
Change the maximum number of living objects a spawner can create. Set it to 0 to never stop spawning objects.

Offset on X axis
Change the offset X relative to origin of spawner (in pixels).

Offset on Y axis
Change the offset Y relative to origin of spawner (in pixels).

Spawn period
Change the spawn period (in seconds).

Spawn objects periodically
Spawn (create) objects periodically. This action must be run every frame to work. When the max quantity is reached and an instance is deleted, the spawner waits the duration of the spawn period before creating another instance. Spawned objects are automatically linked to the spawner.
