Because of being quite sad I ran the above function 10,000 times and it returned

1-914 times (9%)

2-3070 times (31%)

3-6016 times (60%)

so it appears to work ok...

do it the other way round...

10,30 and 60% chances ?

call function with 10 and 30 as parameters

function picks a random number (X)

set function to return 3 (ie the random number is less than 100)

then if X < (Parm(1)+Parm(0) (ie x<40) set function to return 2

then if X<(param(0) (X<10) set function to return 1

and the capx

for example

I call a function with a set of x and y coordinates (0,10,45,67) (upper left x,upper left y, lower right x, lower right y) would be a rectangle with (0,10) as upper left and (45,67) as lower right.

these are sent as "0?10?45?67"

in the function ("fcCreateSpriteInArea") I find the x and y positions using "tokenat"

(from the manual - "tokenat(src, index, separator)

Return the Nth token from src, splitting the string by separator. For example, tokenat("apples|oranges|bananas", 1, "|") returns oranges.")

so now all I need to do is create sprite at (random (x1,x1)),random(y1,y2)

I also called the function with choose("0?0?540?100","540?0?640?380","0?100?100?380","0?380?640?480")

so the choose just picks 1 of the 4 rectangle coordinates I want to create a sprite in

I also used fade to make the sprites fade in pause and fade out (to destroy)

any questions please use RamPackWobble as I will get a message to reply

Good luck

Did you try removing physics ? (which would have taken you maybe a minute to test ?)

The sliding has nothing to do with physics:

Here is your game with physics removed.

Note no wobble, no problem with top step and still sliding ?

wizard game (with physics removed)

beta download is at the bottom of this page

see this post

Didn't work sadly.. <img src="smileys/smiley18.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Appears to here ?

As ArcadEd pointed out the Drag and drop behaviour will probably be better for you to use.

edit - capx if you want ?

physics treadmill fun

enemies.count<1

(sub event) for 1 to 10 : spawn enemies

here you go - quick example capx (r161)

also have a read through https://www.scirra.com/manual/134/performance-tips

try removing the physics behaviour from wizard and ice blocks - appears to fix problem. Physics and other movement behaviours don't play nice together.

Thank you rampack, you can send the CapX? the links are the wrong way :P

The arrow can be taken out of the ball does not? :D
