⚪Asset Spawner

Spawn an Asset or Preset at a specific location during gameplay.

GAME MAKER 0.9 ENHANCEMENT

New preview button in Editor mode so there's no need to test in play mode as before.

Asset Spawner Behaviour can create new Objects during play, triggered by messages sent such as this Asker Behaviour.

​​	Spawn (create) Assets or Presets at a specific location during gameplay Set spawn rate (delay between spawns)

PERFORMANCE TIP In multiplayer Experiences, there are two layers of logic that will not communicate with each other: singleplayer [SP] and multiplayer [MP]. For best performance, only apply [MP] behaviours and components to objects that MUST be synchronised to all players (or communicate on that layer), and maximise use of the [SP] (Client Only) layer.

USAGE TIP Asset Spawner Behaviour has a similar effect to the Drop Component, but it allows you to set a specific location, not a random one.

Common Uses

• Loot from chests, crates, etc.

• Replenishing enemy or wildlife supply (which could provide players with dropped resources)

• Adding content to a scene as part of the game's narrative

Communications

Inputs: Multiple Messages

Outputs: An Object is spawned one or more times

Parameters

Options	Details
	Spawn Offset - set the location of the spawned Object in relation to the Spawner using X, Y, and Z coordinates.
	Use Preset False - the Asset to Spawn, Behaviour, Tags, Components, and Physics fields will be visible to select which Asset to spawn and its properties. True - the Preset field will appear so you can open the popup window and select from one of your Presets, which already have definied properties.
	Asset to Spawn - select which Asset in your Library will be spawned as an Object.
	Behaviour - select which Behaviour will be applied to the spawned Object.
	Tags - Add one or more Tags to the spawned Object.
	Components - Apply one or more Components to the spawned Object.
	Physics Collisions + Gravity - the spawned Object will move when it collides with the player or other Objects (note that this is a simple physics relationship that does not take mass into effect). Collisions - the spawned Object will be anchored in place, and the player and other Objects will NOT be able to pass through it. No Collisions - the spawned Object will be anchored in place, and the player and other Objects will be able to pass through it. Kinematic Trigger -
