So I have one instance of my turret, and I have many instances of my BaseEnemy. I would like to calculate if my TurretAttackDamage >= BaseEnemy.Health then target a different instance of BaseEnemy after I've shot once so ammo isn't wasted, I am stuck at this point, any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Thanks LoobyLoo

I checked, we can't do that in a single generation formula.

The most we can do in one formula is this. But that doesn't work for us.

So we can create a function that will do what we need from two variants of formulas.

Here is an example.

Thank you, this is an interesting solution to the problem in a pretty simple way. Thanks, well done.

x = ViewportRight("game")+random(10,150)

y = ViewportBottom("game")+random(10,150)

Instead of "game", substitute the name of your layer.

This results in the enemies being spawned all in the top right outside of the viewport, not randomly around on all sides.

I am using this formula to generate a random x and y outside of my layout but I only get bunched up enemies that spawn about 1/3 places outside my layout so I figure this formula is wrong. Any ideas?

X = choose(random(-150, -10), random(layoutwidth + 10, layoutwidth + 150))

Y = choose(random(-150, -10), random(layoutheight + 10, layoutheight + 150))
