Hi I was just wondering if there were scripts in gameguru that can spawn enemies? Also is there a script that makes a wave system like in call of duty zombies and if so how would you combine it with enemy spawner so it spawns more enemies every wave?

Here's one we prepared earlier.

Of the 2 main methods used, the very last suggestion is the least coded solution. ie: Use the if Used property on spawn entities triggered by zones.

To get "waves" you'd need to sit down and tinker with script (similar to the linked topic) to make it happen based on what triggers the waves. Having multiple zones on your "path" triggering spawn as you go is probably easiest.

Right click the enemies and name them all the same (I.e. wave1 for the enemies to spawn at the first trigger) then set them to spawn at start = no.
Now place a trigger zone somewhere on the map the player will reach first (resize it if needed) and set the name of the first wave enemies (in my example; wave1) in the ifused field of that zone.

Repeat the process using a different name for the next wave
(You will need to put the triggers in different areas or do some scripting to change when the triggers are activated if you want them to be in the same area - for a defend the position type map)

The main issue with doing this in GG is that you have to set up every enemy in the editor first (although its easy enough to extract and place multiples it will drop frame rate a lot) - there is no clone or create entity command via script
