I am trying to make a randomly generated level and I want to make it choose between the platform X - 10 and the platform X + 10 and I get a syntax error. The maximum value is the one that starts with max is my name or whatever.

If you need to generate a random integer number within a range, you can use random() expression, for example:

Set r to int(random(10, 15))

This will produce one of these numbers - 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Note, that it doesn't include 15.

EDIT: If you need to place something within 10px of Platform.x, you can use random(Platform.x-10, Platform.x+10)

I believe you are looking to put something randomly inside the width of another object 'platform'.

So you will take platform.x which will give you the origin on the X axis of platform and add it to random(10) which will give you 0-9.99999 and the same for subtract.
