How do I place coin bundles for an endless runner

Hey there!

Currently iam working on an endless runner - i want to ask, if there is a nice solution or workaround for placing coins, the player can collect, and which will be renewed later and collected again (it should be possible to spawn the same container gain). I dont want to spawn single coins - it would be great if there would be "coin containers " like you could do with prefabs in unity or sublevels in adobe flash/animate with an dimension of - for example: 5 x 6 coins" - or coins ordered in an rainbow shape (which animates the player to jump over an obstacle). I hope you know what iam looking for. Basically i want to get a set of differend coin containers and spawn them randomly after some time or distance.

Another thought was: If i would set each coin for itself - every coin would have a bulled behavior on it, which may caused into performance issues. If i would have one main container i would move, and all the children would move based on its coordinates, there would be probbably less performance influence.

Thank you very much for your answer!

You can use arrays of relative coin positions.

eg an array [container_id] [coin_id] [pos]:

// coin 0 of container 0

array[0][0][0] = 0 // relative x-pos

array[0][0][1] = 0 // relative y-pos

// coin 1 of container 0

array[0][1][0] = 10 // relative x-pos

array[0][1][1] = -3 // relative y-pos

// coin 2 of container 0

array[0][2][0] = 22 // relative x-pos

array[0][2][1] = -6 // relative y-pos

// coin 3 of container 0

array[0][3][0] = 36 // relative x-pos

array[0][3][1] = -10 // relative y-pos

....

you can create different shapes for the container with the relative coin ositions.

then create the (random) container coins relative to the initial position.

Hi there, me also very interested in this method, but understand nothing... may be someone can provide a simple .capx? Please...
