I got together some code to spawn in enemies, and it works as expected, but it only spawns one visible enemy when i try to add animations. How can i prevent this? Here’s the code, for troubleshooting purposes.

Are you using the character animation extension?

if you are using the character animation blocks for enemies, don’t, use normal animation blocks, to make the enemy fit with normal animation blocks, make the enemy face the screen.  
Hopes this helps!
