Spawn Bug

I looked for this to be mentioned since the fix, but didn’t see it anywhere. Whenever I try to use the Spawn Behavior, the object spawned always gets spawned at 0, 0 regardless of inputs.

Needs to be valued inputs

I tried setting the x and y in the module, and also separately from number outputs into the x and y inputs, everything still spawns at origin.

Maybe post a link to your game? I can’t reproduce this behavior

I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong

Hey @Steeph323 - it looks like the spawn block is set to x:0 and y:9. This will spawn the block with its center at the left edge of the game level, 9 pixels down. It seems to be doing exactly that. Two things to keep in mind:

  • The origin is at the center of your object
  • The x/y coordinates are in pixel units

Each block is 32x32 pixels by default, so if you wanted to spawn at grid position 0,9 (which I think is what you’re trying to do), then set your spawn position to x: 16 (half a tile from the left edge), and y: 304 (9 * 32) + 16

Thank you so much! I read through it over and over, and kept mentally replacing Pixel with Grid Position.
