How do you spawn actors on the top of the screen?

I'm making a game where the player has to avoid the traffic and obstacles coming at the player, so I want the traffic/obstacles to spawn at the top. Any ideas? Thanks. Here's the width, height and cell size: 
super(8, 8, 60)
If possible, please leave a reply before 6/6/22

Use setPaintOrder() method. Not really sure what do you mean by “obstacles to spawn at the top”.

Basically, I want objects to spawn near the top of the screen/scenario. How would you do that?

addObject(obstacle, getWidth()/2, getHeight ()/2);
OR 
addObject(obstacle, x, y);
Now the x and y coordinate depends upon you, i.e. where you want to add

I did this but I can't get the actor "traffic" on (i have named it "Traffic"). I tried without a capital letter and with a capital letter, but neither way worked. How would you do it?

Use the variable traffic as a reference 
Actor traffic = (Actor)getWorld().getObjects(Traffic.class).get(0);

To spawn an object on the top row, use the following: 
int x = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(getWidth());
addObject(new Traffic(), x, 0);

How do you put that x can be any value?

Line 1 sets x to be a random value between 0 and 7, inclusive (since your world is 8 cells wide).
