How do I Create An Object Outside of the layout randomly?

system compare choose(0,1) = 0
--- create object at random(LayoutWidth), choose(0, LayoutHeight)
else
---create object at choose(0, LayoutWidth), random(LayoutHeight)[/code:3rlso663]

You can then modify that to spawn further away from the edge (say 100 pixels) with:
[code:3rlso663]system compare choose(0,1) = 0
--- create object at random(-100, LayoutWidth+100), choose(-100, LayoutHeight+100)
else
---create object at choose(-100, LayoutWidth+100), random(-100, LayoutHeight+100)[/code:3rlso663]

Both those however only spawn along the edge of a rectangle.  To spawn in a random area outside the layout you can break up the areas outside into four rectangles in which you can create objects in the same way as inside the layout.  Keep in mind you need to define how big an area to spawn in.

For example the whole area outside the layout up to 100 pixels away:
[code:3rlso663]
global number region=0
every tick
--- set region to choose(0,1,2,3)
region = 0
--- create object at random(-100, LayoutWidth), random(-100, 0)
region = 1
---create object at random(100)+LayoutWidth, random(-100, LayoutHeight)
region = 2
--- create object at random(0, LayoutWidth+100), random(100)+ LayoutHeight
region = 3
--- create object at random(-100, 0), random(0, LayoutHeight+100)
[/code:3rlso663]

The formulas should be correct, but I haven't tested it.
