ok got it....just give me a couple of hours cause ive got a screaming baby here so when shes down for a nap ill have a look

this is the exported game file... if you put the capx file in here i should be able to have a look, just save and then thats your capx...put that in drop box

need to see the capx, sounds like an easy problem...lets have a look

its was really simple in the end. it just took me ages to get my head round it

ok a good nights sleep and a fresh pair of eyes later, ive managed to sort it out.....thanks to everyone that helped me

heres what i did in the end.....example3

ramones

yeah so how do i generate that number? your capx wont work for me im getting document error

yeah sorry ive not made it very clear

what i want is the post man to go about delivering his letters, so six in this one.

i want then to be able to spawn an object at a random drop off, so between 1-6 in the letters variable

(the last capx i posted was the wrong one, ill try and find it....)

here we go

example2

ive looked at it again and this should work but alas it does not

when i run it without using int(random()) and just put in a number, it works? bizarre, ive checked the relevant tutorial and this is what it tells me to do..........

where am i going wrong?

example 2

can i do choose(random()) its telling me something about parameters

i thought seeing as the letters variable was a definite number 1,2,3 etc

the random() function would be able to choose a number between the parameters you can set with equal to (the random number)

i think that makes sense, its been a long day

sqiddster

yeah that would work but im just trying to understand how the random() function works, yours is more advanced than i need it to be.....but thats probably the way to go

for some reason when i use int(random()) the police man appears at the begging of the layout, thats not what im after i want him only to spawn when the random number has been reached?

thankyou
