Hi Guys!

I would like the positions to change randomly at the press of a button!

I want to ask for help because there is no way I can do it!

Here’s one idea. You can put all those sprites in a family to simplify the events. Basically you’d swap the positions of random pairs of the objects.

Var i=0
Var xtemp=0
Var ytemp=0

On button clicked
Repeat 10 times
— pick random family
— — set i to family.iid
— pick random family
— — set xtemp to family.x
— — set ytemp to family.y
— — family: set x to family(i).x
— — family: set y to family(i).y
— pick family instance number i
— — family: set x to xtemp
— — family: set y to ytemp

Sorry for the delay. May take a bit longer for me to open the example since I’m not on my computer.

But my guess is what I wrote doesn’t make it completely clear what is a sub event and what isn’t.

In the meantime here’s a slightly different idea. If the objects aren’t all the same type then put them in a family. The create another sprite marker, and make it invisible.
On click — destroy marker On click For each family — create marker at (family.x, family.y) On click For each family ordered by random(1) Pick nth: marker instance loopindex — family: set position to marker

Anyways, just an idea. If you placed the marker sprites down over each object in the layout you wouldn’t need the first two events.

I’ll make an example of both when I get a chance.

Here's yours fixed. Sub-events were setup incorrectly, and didn't use family(i).x.

Here's the other idea, just simpler.

Interesting topic even drag me to make these boxes switching position in motion: dropbox.com/s/3q7gponnqti46kl/BOX_switch_position.c3p

Well my approach use a list which UID & position stored.
