How often are these other actors to be added? You could probably just modify the current code to suit.

my first actor appears every 4 seconds. the second actors every 3 seconds. i have a couple more actors that will either appear at the same rate as the said actors or not

Okay, you can have the timer repeat every 720 cycles (about every 12 seconds). Then:
?
1
2
if (timer%180 == 0) ... // spawns every 3 seconds
if (timer%240 == 0) ... // spawns every 4 seconds

    //(spawnTimer == 0) // at each timer reset
    if (timer%180 == 0)
    {
         addObject(new A(), 150, Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(1));
    }
}
 
{
    spawnTimer = (spawnTimer+1)%40; // repeat every 10 seconds (about)
    if (timer%240 == 0) // at each timer reset
    {
         addObject(new C(), 250, Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(2));
    }

{
    spawnTimer = (spawnTimer+1)%720;
    if (spawnTimer%180 == 0) addObject(new A(), 150, 0);

}
