Alleatory itens to collect

Hi, i'm searching for tips to guide me in how can i generate itens like the coins in megajump

play.google.com/store/apps/details

they have fixed formations that are randomly chosen. i think that i must use arrays, but i really don't know how to make this work or how to start.

tks

One way would to put each item as it's own animation in the same sprite.

then when you startup the level you can change the sprites animation at random.

Set the animation to:

TokenAt("AnimationName1,AnimationName2,AnimationName3"),random(3),",")

this grabs one of the 3 names at random, using the comma as a separator.

Then on collision with the object you can check to see what animation was playing.

you can:

1.- create a couple (i.e.3) 2-dimensional arrays (x,y), and

2.- OnStartOfLayout: Set "varStartingArray" to: Choose ("array1, array2, array3"), then

3.- Use a loop that places the items according to the chosen array coordinates.

thanks for both i'm working now and when i finish the mecanics i'will share some capx <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
