Enemy spawning is awesome and really helps with framerate butbe prepared for some lengthy testing.

There can be a few bugs with enemies spawning without their texture or frozen with no AI.

Don't worry, you can get them all to work properly by tweaking them but just don't expect everything to go smoothly first time around.

Jackal16 & Nomad Soul are correct im sure.

Im sure people have their selected ways to get high fps, and I dont think my ideas are any different from others, so its good to make a few tests. And it does depend on your level size, placement etc etc.

However in relation to your question I would say no.
*Or another way at answering, have x2 at a Max on a split level if you dont want enemys doing stupid things. -could be depending on pc specs.


Working on a new title now in progress.

...spawning is definitely the way to go. That way the player can create and mow 'em down as he moves along the level. Huge saver on memory, too.
