I've put 5 ImagePoints on each side of the tree and On Start of Layout it repeats creating branches on the ImagePoints of the tree, but there's like a 1/10 chance that a branch will spawn like 10-20px away from the Trees' ImagePoint. Why is that?

Maybe try setting the frame, then moving to position.

Did try that before, without success; Would basically create the branch at 0,0, then changing animation and frame and then setting position to the ImagePoint.

Ok, you should select a random image point to use first, then use that value for both the x, and y.

You mean like putting the image points into variables before and then on creation using those variables for the ImagePoints?

Edit: Finished the tree generator where leaf chunks generate across it and it had the same problem. Except they spawned around the origin of the tree... So I've redone it without System->Repeat and the bug was gone. But the branches still have the problem :/ I'm so confused

imagepointX=(random(6)), and imagepointY=(random(6)) doesn't work. That can be two different numbers.

You are getting two different random numbers - so the X from one imagepoint but the Y from another imagepoint. Use a local variable to call random once, and use that value as your index for X and Y.
