Spawners, please!
« on: March 23, 2018, 05:20:44 PM »
Something that I love to see in PB are:
*Drumroll*
Spawners.

Spawners that you can create custom as the items or the enemies.
With those spawners you can spawn items, projectiles or enemies. Add them a texture and etc.

Post below your opinion about this stuff ;D
Sorry because my English is not very good because I'm Spanish ;) :P

Just like Super Mario Maker right? I was thinking along those lines for having a spawn pipe where enemies come out. And what do you mean giving it textures?

Not only as pipes, simply an invisible block or you can put it a texture, so you can make an enemy spawn with a custom spawn rate, custom spawn maximum, custom spawning item/enemy/projectile and etc.

Will be good a Custom Spawners in Game Setup, some of my ideas  need that thing  ;) ;)

Okay. Now I understand. I was just using pipes as an example. I like the idea.

They were in Mario Builder, so it should be no problem :P

FYI, there is already a way to spawn most enemies, although the spawn system is not as sophisticated as this suggestion.

You can place most enemies on top of large cannons. It will cause the cannon to fire those enemies instead of cannonballs.  ;)
