Object Spawner Area Plugin - Spawn from object groups?

[classicalpixel]

Hi there,

I’m using the Object Spawner Area plugin, currently I’m able to “Periodically spawn (create) an “object” located at spawner “point”.”

However I would like to spawn from an object group, but with no success as it’s only choosing to spawn the first type only (Ghost):
“Periodically spawn (create) an “object_group” located at spawner “point”.”

Would love to know if it’s not possible to spawn from object group with this plugin? Or I’m missing something. Thanks!

Hi,
you can spawn different objects from a group but you have to name your enemy sprites consistently and add an individual number. Then you can use the RandomInRange expression to randomly choose a number which will determine the spawned sprite. You can find the events for that in this topic:

Trying to create a random object from a group

Hello Folks, I created a group of objects called “ennemies” made of different ennemy sprites (ennemy1 ennemy2 etc) I would like to spawn different sprites from the group on the scene randomly. There is a guy who made a video tutorial and pretends you can acheive this with the action among objects. See below: All the ways to create objects in GDevelop (tutorial) - YouTube at 4m06s The thing is that action doesn’t exist. Any alternative ? Thanks Mike

Thanks Drona!

Wondering if you know a way for it to work with the plugin though? (Spawner Area Plugin)

Cheers!

This is indeed tricky and I have no solution for that. I would probably not use the extension, but I am not familiar with your project. It really depends on the benefits you get from the spawner extension. The basic functionality (spawning objects at a certain time interval) can be done relatively easily with the events.
