How do I spawn objects within the player screen?

Trying to make a rain effect, but I don't want to create the raindrops all over the layout since that would lag the game. Instead I want the raindrops to spawn within the player screen. How do I do this?

Thank you.

There's a few ways you could do this. I am assuming you would like to spawn the raindrops only from the top of the screen which would mean getting the screen's coordinates.

Are you planning on using sprites for the raindrops? Also, do you want the raindrops to have a random pattern for when they are spawned (so that they have a random X position when they are created)?

Yes, on top of the screen, sprites as raindrops and a random spawning pattern would be great. Thanks for helping me out!

Ok, I had a capx that achieved something similar to this I'll try and find it right now.

Ok, I modified a capx I had to make it more like what you were asking for. Let me know if anything goes wrong.

Thank you so much, that's exactly how I wanted it! You're a legend for helping me out!
