  Just checking with you Cuddle, you are not using the is outside layout without repositioning them inside the layout again, are you? In this case they would sit in a loop forever outside the layout.

  You could use an array to randomise them - there is a RandomArray plugin linked away from this website somewhere. Also try to maintain a pool of sprites rather than keep instantiating them, it's a more efficient approach and if you deploy to mobiles it will save you extra headaches when you get there.

  Hey there BigDream,

  It's not hard, particles are the way forwards I think. You will have to mess with it for a few minutes, but you should soon get the hang of it.

  Look at the properties and read through them.

  Insert a particle object. Double click on it to open the image editor and make the brush size very small. select a grey colour (or whatever colour you mist spray will be). draw a few dots in a sort of cloud shape, but leave lots of space between the dots.

  You can rotate the spray cone using the line with a square frame on the end of it. Line it up with you weapon.

  To get a broad spray needed for your example, you will have to open up the spray cone to 100. Rate to 40 and give it a try.

  Should be in the right direction for you.
