Pick the last instance then spawn another using radius as method to spacing them. Put circle formula to put in position as polar coordinate.

x = r * cos(∆)

y = r * sin(∆)

Of course that just pseudo expression but Will work if applied properly.

The closest touch approach would be using 'Is Touching object' condition.

It's in variable section, since I didn't modify previous action at all.

Just add distance comparison whether the click took place in occupied spot.

Use pin behavior or hierarchy. Below are using pin behavior to attach another body parts:

Let me know what you think.

Loopindex is kind of iteration command repeated based on condition input. In your case loopindex iterates through all family member.For instance if you have 5 family member, loopindex repeats command 5 Times.

Meanwhile PickedCount Will show up as auto complete if you type object name followed by dot then add PickedCount in expression field. Expression Seems daunting at first but very handy in return.

Here much much simple example summoning family member without randomness:

Next example just incorporating loopindex to create grid:

Study how isometric or dimetric projection work. Measure relative grid distance in that orthographic view and faking the realm until make sense. Try to formulate Z-sorting by filtering critea (object properties, tags, value). You probably want to break some object into fragments.
