Sooooooooooooooooo. I have a problem again… But bear with me,
I have spawner code that works nicely it’s supposed to randomize the animation.
But once I have more than one spawner, the ones that I placed after the first one only spawn the dustZombie!
It looks fine. You say you’re using multiple spawner are they identical? Can you post a screenshot of them?
Tips: You could use timers instead of wait or the spawn behavior.
You could use **tween has finished ** instead of wait.
You could reduce the number of events by putting the zombie information into an array of structures. Then if you assigned the random number to a variable you could set the values using the variable. If you have multiple scenes then you could use a global variable.
Something like
Create an array named zombies
Once you create the first element you can copy and paste it.
Set r to random in range 0,3
Set Damage to zombies[r].Damage
Set max speed to zombies[r].MaxSpeed
(and so on for as many settings you want)
You can use the animation # directly
Set damage to zombies[object name animation number].Damge
But for setting it up, the variable name. Is cleaner looking and easier to explain.
Using a setting in zombie, you can minimize identitical events. Anytime you repeat the same events there’s usually a way to reduce things by either using a variable, a loop like repeat of **for each object **, a variable or an extension.

Hey, out of curiosity why did you keep speed a string variable instead of a number one? What’s the benefit of doing it that wayo? I am very new to using variables for anything besides like switching weapons for one unit.
Sorry, that was just a quick example. I would use a number for numbers not a string. They’re probably not that much diffence in the way they’re stored. It’s more the way they’re handled.
adding the numbers 11+22 would be 33
While adding “11” + “22” would be “1122”
(I replaced the image in my other post. Just to avoid any confusion)

Okay, sounds good. I have just seen your answers in other posts and know you’re really knowledgeable. Trying to soak up everything that I can. That’s pretty cool of you to go back and adjust the images, I know for learners like me that really helps because there are plenty of times I am copying something to implement in my stuff and then I modify one aspect at a time until I understand what things do.
You’re welcome.
I know the language fairly well. I’m still learning concepts.
@Keith_1357 There isn’t much to screen shot so I’ll just explain. I just dragged out 2 spawner objects and that’s it lol.
Also, it doesn’t work. 
I’m probably overlooking something
I don’t understand what you mean by this. I would like more clarification.
Though I enjoy your method a lot more so hopefully it can work…
Here’s an example of using a timer and the animation number with the structure.
Try me: There is no interaction. It just spawns random zombies. I attached a text object just to demonstrate the sticker and how you can use the values in the array/structure for anything. The player is the only object in the scene.

This uses 3 objects, a player with no behaviors, a zombie with 3 animations, the destroy outside of screen (it’s not needed but it’s always a good idea to use when needed), a text object with the sticker behavior to stick the text to the zombie object.
variables

As for the Tween, this is what I meant.
For this example, I had to change the text object’s sticker behavior to “only follow position”
