For this we're going to need another custom class, an enemy spawner. We'll replace our current placed TestEnemy actors with this new actor, and have it spawn the enemies for us.
We're going to create the enemy spawner as a subclass of
AwesomeActor, so let's make sureAwesomeActorlooks like this:class AwesomeActor extends Actor; defaultproperties { }Create a new file in our

class AwesomeEnemySpawner extends AwesomeActor placeable; defaultproperties { Begin Object Class=SpriteComponent Name=Sprite Sprite=Texture2D'EditorResources.S_NavP' HiddenGame=True End Object Components.Add(Sprite) }We're adding a sprite to it so that we can see it when we place it in the editor.

SpawnEnemy:function SpawnEnemy...
