Help spawning random sprites but with conditions

Hello,

Is anyone able to help me. I have a family of sprites and I want to spawn 2 of them at random and position them at random angles (from an array of angles). I need to make sure that the 2 sprites are not the same sprite at the same angle. They can be the same sprite at different angles or different sprites at the same angle. I have no idea how to write this so any help to point me in the right direction would be great.

Thank you.

you could do it like this

Hi vtrix

Thanks so much for getting back to me, and thanks for the capx. Unfortunately my angles are set to 90 degree increments (0, 90, 180, 270).

In my game both sprites and the angles they're set to are chosen at random.

This is more or less what I want. The problem I'm having is occasionally the 2 sprites spawned are the same sprites at the same angle.

Is there a way I can check to see if sprite 1 and sprite 2 are the same, and if they are, then set them both to different angles.

I hope that makes sense, if not let me know.

Thanks.
