So I'm trying to make something that can spawn neutral Mega Crabs so that, while I'm playing against the enemy team, there are Mega Crabs everywhere killing us. And [part] of my code for it is something like:
Code:
function Update(self)
   if timer:IsSimPastMS(30000) then
      megacrab = CreateACrab("Mega Crab")
      megacrab.Team = -1
      timer:Reset()
   end

or something like that... (Not at my game PC right now so I don't really remember and it's kinda 2 AM so yeah...)

So I spawn my object, and it should spawn the Mega Crab after 30 seconds and once I spawn it, it lags for 30 seconds...

Then 30 seconds later, the lag's gone. Mega Crabs are nowhere to be seen.

HALP?

      megacrab.Pos = Vector(SceneMan.Scene.Width * PosRand(), 0)
      MovableMan:AddActor(megacrab)
      timer:Reset()
   end
end

This makes them fall out of the sky.

@OP

Not setting a position, or adding an actor. The 30 second lag is 30 seconds because they get garbagecollected for sitting in memory not in use.
