  Why not consider using the sprite method above?

  And, if say, you want to add ( or subtract) the number of enemy positions during the game,

  it is probably easier to do that with the sprite method and keep the game in

  one layout/event sheet

  or

  if you prefer the sprite method.

  Here is a way to NEVER repeat.

  you need to have

  2 instance variables on the SetSprite.

  One for Overlap and

  another for LastOne

  and the wait time to change the LastOne from 1 to 0 needs to be a touch longer than whatever the Every X seconds count

  or

  Make an instance variable (Can_shoot) for the player sprite (in the below example the player is Sprite)

  (one instance variable (number))

  and in this case the reload animation is named reload

  and when the reload animation is finished then......

  ..

  When you make the instance variable for the player sprite, the remember to set initial value of the Can_shoot instance variable to 1 when you make it.

  You need to have an Audio object in your project

  Double click on your layout view and select Audio

  and

  of course a sound or music file uploaded into it as well.

  then in your event sheet

  well, random is random so duplicates may happen.

  In your case a 1 in 16 chance.

  korbaach knows a better way I am sure, (please let us know Korbaach )

  but

  one way is

  I like using sprites as it is more visual for me...

  

  .

  be sure to change the count to however many sprite2 you have on your layout

  and

  remember even in this example above, when the count resets to zero, there is a chance (1 in 16 your game) it may reset to the same sprite.

  ok, I think this is what you want.

  IMPORTANT,

  have only ONE instance of the object off screen,(not 16.)

  

  .

  this will make one instance of the object (SpellFont1) set it position at a random Sprite2 for

  in this example 1 second.

  Wait,

  you said " [quote:3gsyhgup]In my game I need to create an object randomly in 16 positions.

  so I thought you wanted 16 instances of that one object.

  But now it sounds like you want one instance of the object to jump from one location to the next randomly every x seconds?

  let me come up with something.....

  Try making it without the Function first, then you may get it.

  Maybe this will help.

  

  the objects SpellFont1 are off screen on start of layout.

  The SpellSpot has an Instance Variable (Boolean) named overlapp ( initial state = false)

  Your game may not need Functions or some other actions.

  and similar but a bit different ,

  there is this tutorial for setting random frames of a single sprite.
