rnd spawn # sprites but must not clash

Hi Community,

I'd like to know the best way to achieve this please.

Randomly spawn 6 sprites (mines).... so they don't overlap with themselves or the player.

The idea is to navigate player with 8Dir through a minefield until you've saved the girl.

System|Repeat 6 times

System|Create Obj mine on layer 1 at (random ......)

so girl sprite is random too.... so I guess I need the player & girl to start opposite each other and mines in between.

I will continue to crack on with this but any help would be much appreciated.
