spawning objects on a path

#1 You can attach objects to a path using attachObject(). More information can be found in the t2dPath reference.

#2 I tried editing the spawn area behavior to add this functionality to it using the attach object method, but it isn't working... I feel like its a really obvious thing that i'm just missing--as it always seems to be when I'm coding... the function in question is at the bottom, but i posted the entire behavior just in case i missed it somewhere else

if (!isObject(SpawnAreaAdvancedBehavior))
{
   %template = new BehaviorTemplate(SpawnAreaAdvancedBehavior);
   
   %template.friendlyName = "Spawn Area Advanced";
   %template.behaviorType = "AI";
   %template.description  = "Spawns objects inside the area of this object";

   %template.addBehaviorField(object, "The object to clone", object, "", t2dSceneObject);
%template.addBehaviorField(path, "Path to set enemy on", object, "", t2dSceneObject);
   %template.addBehaviorField(count, "The number of objects to clone (-1 for infinite)", int, 50);
   %template.addBehaviorField(spawnTime, "The time between spawns (seconds)", float, 2.0);
   %template.addBehaviorField(spawnVariance, "The variance in the spawn time (seconds)", float, 1.0);
   %template.addBehaviorField(spawnStart, "Time before the first spawn (seconds)", float, 2.0);
   
   %spawnLocations = "Area" TAB "Edges" TAB "Center" TAB "Top" TAB "Bottom" TAB "Left" TAB "Right";
   %template.addBehaviorField(spawnLocation, "The area in which objects can be spawned", enum, "Area", %spawnLocations);
   %template.addBehaviorField(minSpeed, "The minimum speed of the object (world units per second)", float, 10.0);
   %template.addBehaviorField(maxSpeed, "The maximum speed of the object (world units per second)", float, 25.0);

}

function SpawnAreaAdvancedBehavior::onAddToScene(%this, %scenegraph)
{
   %this.spawnCount = 0;
   %this.schedule(%this.spawnStart * 1000, "spawn");
   %this.owner.setLinearVelocityPolar(270, %speed * 0.001);

#3 maybe this iwll work
