Cloning Help

How do I make it to where when objects get destroyed the objects get cloned 4 seconds later in their original positions.

You can store the x,y co-ords in a global variable, then say object 'on destroyed' wait 4 seconds and create object at stored co-ords. If there are many objects then maybe setting invisible then visible on a timer would be more useful.

Or instead of destroying you can make the object invisible and disable its collision. After 4 seconds - make visible again and enable collisions.

For situations like this, I like to use an invisible helper sprite, a "spawner" that stays in the original position and keeps track of values like timing and position.

The objects created from the spawner can have an instance variable "origin" or "source" that I like to set with the UID of the spawner on created, so that each instance knows where it was created from, and I can use that to pick the correct spawner when the object gets destroyed. This helps in situations where you might have to work with multiple spawner objects.

Or instead of destroying you can make the object invisible and disable its collision. After 4 seconds - make visible again and enable collisions.

Thank you so much! Good outside of the box thinking! I'm still new to this.
