  Use a timer: After 2 seconds spawn the actors.

  Are you wanting a 2 second delay between spawns? Just copy the timer 4 times (the first spawn should not use a timer) and increase the duration by 2 seconds each time.
  
  Spawn actor
  
  Timer after 2 seconds
  Spawn actor
  
  Timer after 4 seconds
  Spawn actor
  
  Timer after 6 seconds
  Spawn actor
  
  Timer after 8 seconds
  Spawn actor

  @tatiang If you wanted an endless loop couldn't you make an actor so that every two seconds it adds 2 to an integer attribute and then another actor that says every (attribute) seconds spawn the actor?

  @Utveckla_Games You sure could. With any more than 5 actors, I would definitely use a loop.
  
  And oops... a simpler solution for the above behaviors is two timers:
  
  Spawn actor
  For [8.1] seconds
  .....Every [2] seconds
  ..........Spawn actor
  
  I think I remember that a For timer set to exactly the duration (2*4=8) doesn't spawn the final actor.

  @tatiang ok cool! I should try to make that in a project and dump it onto the spare code discussion.
