The zombie table didn't get x, y values. They have to be in the self.table create like I wrote or you combine the code from
mickeyjm with mine. just remove function enemy:new and insert his code in the update.
Code: Select all
zombie = {} function spawnZombies() for i=1,10 do --Replace 10 with number of enemies you want zombies[#zombies+1]={ x = math.random(0,728), y = math.random(0,428), } end end function zombie:init() self.timer = 0 self.spawnTime = 3 end function zombie:update( dt ) self.timer = self.timer + dt if self.timer > self.spawnTime then spawnZombies() -- his code self.timer = 0 end -- update anything else enemy related here end
I know this is a really old post and I'm not sure if it's not working because this way is out dated or i'm doing something wrong but I using your snippet of code in my project
basically I was trying to spawn new enemies from other character
bots , babies
Code: Select all

require"mom"

I wasn't sure if you code was suppose to be in the bot class or mom class
