How to create a random object?

I have created four objects called symb0, symb2 .. symb3.

Now I want to spawn one of them.

I can do a System->create object, but this only lets me pick from a list, there is no way to enter an expression such as "symb" + random(4)

any ideas?

I have no idea which forum to post this in (sorry!)

Unfortunately there's no way to do that. Spawn/create object by it's name would be a nice addition to C2, but won't happen any time soon due to minify script on export.

Would it work for your project done this way?

Moving to 'how do I'.

For now you have to set a variable and create a different object depending on that. If you just want to create a random object, put all the objects in a family and create the family, and a random object belonging to the family will be created.

Excellent capx! This works for me.

One quick question - In the editor, you can copy rather than clone object, then you can have one click handler or loop over them etc as they are all instances of the same object.

If you crate instances like in your example, will they be "clones" or "copies"?

I'm guessing they will behave like clones, so I wont be able to have a generic click handler for them all (unless using families?)

Thanks again!
