    Help!

    I'm trying to spawn fx in an order but I just can get it to work. Can any of you kind people give me a hand?

    for example, I'm trying to spawn sparks at 45secs into the game, then am alarm at 50secs and a fire at 55 sec.

    does anyone know how?

    In general, you can achieve this by placing scripts on all of the FX for MATCH START: DESPAWN & ROUND START: DESPAWN.

    Then comes the tricky part. You will need an object that acts as a physical timer trigger using its own respawn properties. I use the plushy spartan toy.

    I always have more success with timing triggers by despawning an object and having a script on the toy "ON SPAWN: DO ACTION". So you despawn this script object at match/round start, you apply a respawn yes property to it, give a timer of 45/55/65, etc, and ON SPAWN: DO ACTION, which spawns your FX.

    You can set it to despawn at match start and round start, and then set a timer on the object to have it spawn in at a certain time.
