Try it with spawn at start to true, he must spawn at start then after he dies there is a delay before the next spawn.

ya forgot about that and he doesn't want it to

@GraPix: u'd have to write a script to spawn the entity after time using timers..

btw: (1 second = 30 in delay time) so for 20 seconds u should go with 600

I don't think your script can work Bibo4PC. I think that it will activate the object as soon as you enter the trigger zone regardless of what you put in the script.

If you could explain what you're trying to achieve in a bit more detail it might be easier to advise you what you can do. It's probably easier to use another object to spawn the one you want after a delay. That is have the timer in "object a" and when it reaches the time spawn "object b". You still get the delay but both objects would spawn instantly.

I believe SpawnAfterDelay is only applicable after something has died once. I don't think you can use it to spawn a new character/object after a delay.

I am trying to make a character spawn after 10 sec. And i have alot of entities aprom.14 i want all of them to be spawn after a delay of 10 sec each.

like:

entity_1: spawn after 10 sec
entity_2: spawn after 20 sec
entity_3: spawn after 30 sec
entity_4: spawn after 40 sec
entity_5: spawn after 50 sec
entity_6: spawn after 60 sec
and so on...

Ok, are they all going to spawn in the same room as you? Like waves and waves of enemies?

Download the .fpm attached and put it in your mapbank in your FPSC folder.

Open the map in FPSC and run test game, don't change any settings.

Don't play the test game, just watch as the enemies continue to spawn.

End the test game and check the settings and then adjust for your own game.

The .fpm uses all stock media so there shouldn't be any problems loading it. I made it in the latest beta of 1.16 but don't see any reason why it wouldn't work in earlier versions.

Well you could spawn the original one via a trigger zone, but seeing as you want them to appear in different locations I don't believe it's possible the way I showed.

I think it is possible to do it like you want but I have a feeling it would be easier to achieve with a MOD which allows for entity timers instead of having to rely on the single global timer from Vanilla FPSC.

No, I think your script is fine, but as far as I can see when an object is spawned via a trigger zone it is spawned instantly whether or not you want it to be.

You can start using a mod even if you have already starting making a level. Just make sure you back-up your levels first. Project Blue should have entity timers in it as they were in Ply's mod.

You're still going to have to script what you want, but it will be slightly easier as each entity can use it's own timer and you don't have to worry about other scripts interrupting your scripts and causing problems.

Sorry but I don't have the time to write the scripts for you. The best way for you to learn scripting is to do it yourself anyway. Download Flatlander's script editor, it can help find errors in your syntax before you try and use your script and wonder why it isn't working.
