Am getting confused with delaying the spawning of prefabs. Currently am using PoolBoss.Spawn within a loop.
I have 2 waves within 1 level but it's timings does not appear to be used - instead all the prefabs are spawned at once under the poolboss parent.
I need to be able to delay spawning, but does this mean I shouldn't be using PoolBoss.Spawn with this scenario?
Any help much appreciated.

First I need to ask why are you not using our spawners? They handle all this and a lot more with no coding.

Not sure how to use the spawners as in this case I cannot know the prefabs position ahead of runtime.

Your spawners can move around, that's fine. Use a Syncro Spawner and set up its wave to spawn over time. Example Scene #1 you can look at, but add a movement script to the spawners if you need that.
There's a "delay wave" field and also a field that controls how long it takes for the whole wave to spawn.

Thanks for the info, really appreciate it.
As well as setting a custom transform is there an easy way to tack further data to the spawned prefabs at runtime? Am thinking soomething along the lines of custom exposed properties??

You'll need to code that. Use the OnSpawned method that gets fired every time it spawns if the custom data can be retrieved from a global manager script. If not, then use a WaveSyncroSpawnerListener class, hook it to the spawner, and add code to the ItemSpawned method.
