Problems to create sprites in random position with intervals

I'm trying to create 4 sprites on the screen in random positions, using instances of another sprite as reference. Sometimes it works, but in others appears only 2 or 3 sprites. I have one more problem: I need that those sprites appear one at a time (interval of 0.5 sec) and I don't know how to do this using "for" loop and I don't want to change it. Any help? Thanks.

So you need 1 sprite to appear every 0.5 seconds and a maximum of 4 at the same time on the screen?

Hi frostyelk

I need to create 4 sprites and one at a time with 0.5 intervals, using the localPoint instances as position reference. I intend to control the quantity through the "for" loop command. I attached a demonstration in the post.

Instead of a loop just compare the object count.

Hi R0J0hound

Many thanks.

But now I've one new problem: I was using loop to associate the loopindex to IID. How can I do this without the "for" loop command?

Instead of loopindex I used Sprite.Count-1 to set the animation frame. I could just as well have used sprite.iid though. Would that work? I don't see the need for loopindex.

Sorry. I had not seen it. Thank you so much.
