Hi,

I've a grid of 15 fields and want to create different sprites (packed in a family) randomly in these fields every x seconds. In each field, only one object should exist at a time.

I tried to do solve it with 15 spawners placed in the fields and coded:

every 2 seconds - pick random spawner --- spawner-spawn family

which gives me multiple instances above each other.

How can I randomly create only one object per field, 'til this object is destroyed and theres room for a new one?

Thanks a lot!

You need to pick an unoccupied field before spawning:
Every X seconds: Field is NOT overlapping Family System pick random Field -> Field Spawn Family

Hi,

yes, that does the trick. Tried that before, but at the wrong position.

Thanks a lot, appreciate it!
