So lets say I have Sprite1 gets destroyed, and when it's destroyed I want Sprite2 to spawn/be created (randomly across the screen and with a random number of copies IE 1-5 copies)

I was thinking something like:

Creating a Global Variable=0

On Start of Layout - Set GV random(1,5)

- create Sprite1

Sprite1 on Destroyed -

Sub> System GV=# -System create Sprite2 at random(X,X);random(Y,Y)

It looks reasonable. Did you not try that before posting?

You dont need this global variable.

Sprite1 on Destroyed:

For 1 to int(random(1-5)) -> System create Sprite2 at random(x,x) / random (y,y)

mbuckenmeyer90 - I've created a couple examples, and left them in your other thread here: construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/spawn-multiple-copies-sprite-170924
Using very basic actions/events. Nothing too crazy, so it should be pretty simple to study the examples, and see what is going on there.

Though I'm using a local variable in the second example, to have it randomize the amount of blood spatter sprites being created, on the destruction of the first Sprite.

You could easily, just drag that local variable "Amount" up to top of the event sheet, to make it a Global Variable.

EDIT: Could also change the round() to int() as KryptoPixel mentioned. I used round, to round the randomnumber to the nearest integer.
