How do I fix my respawn object events

I have objects that respawn at invisible objects throughout my level, which use instance variables.

The timer for them to respawn is 5 seconds. They respawn just fine, but the issue is every object respawns at the same time, instead of waiting 5 seconds after it has been destroyed (which is when it leaves the layout).

I'm using the free version by the way, until I can buy a licence on my next payday, so I don't have access to all the features.

If you don't want them to respawn at the same time use random in your timer

Every random(1,6) seconds: Spawn enemy

That will add randomness to the enemy.

The respawn is not for enemies, but for platforms that fall or rise, but I get what you mean.

I tried this, the same thing happens, all the same platform type will spawn at the same time, instead of individually.

I set up a test area, with 5 platforms, I ran across them all, they all fell, at slightly different times, but they all respawned at the exact same time.

I need them to spawn 5 seconds after they are destroyed, so if one is destroyed and another 2 seconds later, the first will spawn, then 2 seconds later the other spawns.

I am at a loss as to why they do not spawn individually, they seem to just spawn all as one.

Hmmm?

I don't see your time event in your event sheet to tell what the problem is.

Post that and lets see how your time event is set up.

I'll PM you the file.

I found a way to fix my problem, at least for resetting falling platforms. Check out the capx for how I did it.
