Creating Dynamic Actor Instances During a Playing Session

During a playing session, you can automatically create dynamic actor instances using JavaScript.

You can create dynamic instances for all actors (2D, 3D or logical).

When you create instances during a playing session, instances appear in red under their corresponding category in the Project panel. Once the playing session ends, dynamic instances disappear.

	if (template !== null && template !== undefined){
		for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++){
			var options = {
				name: "Test",
				parent: null,
				incrementName: true,
				onInstantiationSuccess: function (iInstance) {
					console.log("New instance " + iInstance.getName() + " created successfully");
					var trans = new DSMath.Vector3D(i * 1000, 0, 0);
					iInstance.translate(trans);
				},
				onFailure: function (iInstance) { console.log("Error during instantiation"); }
			};
			template.createDynamicInstance(options);
		}
	}else{
		console.log("Error: template not found");
	}
