Yours spawns 2000 objects (as long as the value is 5), wich is a rare case, because of the 'add'.

Mine 'we mine means' spawns once when the value is 5 and then not till it is again 5, that is what 'once while true' means.

Oh sorry I forgot to tell you that I changed my conditions in Construct 2 so the one you downloaded is now different from the one on my computer. I just didn't feel like re-uploading it I'm lazy

I have seen your capx, but i do not understand what you try to do.

So, let me tell you some basics.

Lets say we trow dices. Now the randomness depends on how much times you try.

So if you really want true randomness, the you got to try a lot. To do this in c2, try this.

Global variable 'timer' ... number .. = 0

Global variable 'Pick_Ups' .. number .. = 0

condition > system > every tick

action > system > set value ... variable = 'timer' ... value = floor(random(1,5))

action > system > set value ... variable = 'Pick_Ups' ... value = floor(random(4,31))

condition > system > every x second ... interval=timer

sub condition > system > compare two values ... 1st value = Pick_Ups .. = .. 2d value = 5

condition > system > once while true

action > create on random places

Thank you for the help I tried your idea but ya know mines sort of better in a way

You see in mine I set the objects to spawn at a random time and place and it never stops

But with yours it only spawns the object once because of the trigger once while true condition

thanks for the help though

Tried but I can't download the file. Try dropbox or google drive maybe?

Alright here's the dropbox:

Hi my name is Dominic and there is nothing I love more than actually creating a video game(its much more boring to watch people create games but when you do it yourself, to me its more exciting) ,well except for cake.

Everybody loves cake, if you don't love cake I'll kill you .

I really wanted to get into coding and creating games at a young age(why you ask, because I wear glasses )

There's a game I'm working on as I write his im'ma call it Battle of the field(really generic, trust me I know).

Well this was fun writing this if you actually read to the end then we can be friends. Well see ya later alligator(really generic, trust me I know).

I think they should help you achieve what you want. Post a capx of your attempt if you can't get it to work and we'll try and troubleshoot it. I typed in "spawn random" in the tutorials page and found those 3. There are probably others and probably different combinations of words you can use to find others too!

Thank You for the help dude I'll go and check them out

I want to know how to spawn things very random, meaning that I want them to spawn at a random time and a random distance from each other. I have been playing around with it and I can't figure out a way to do it, but if there is someone out there who can show me or give me a tutorial or even a guide please do.
