How do I make an enemy spawn outside the layout randomly

I want to make a type of enemy spawn randomly outside the layout so that it doesn't have the same spawn every time, how can I do this?

Every random(x,y) seconds, system create object [sprite] on layer [whatever] at random(0,LayoutWidth), random(0,LayoutHeight)... or whatever coordinates/space you wish.

Seems like sound logic + 1

Except that OP actually asked for spawning outside the Layout?

There are a few different ways to do this

1. Create 4 different spawn zone for each side of the layout, create each one using the logic above. Then use a separate random check to determine which side's spawn to execute.

This Person is dealing with a similar problem/Solution:

2. Create a separate SpawnPoint object, and position instances around the outer edge of your Layout, Then use an event with the condition "Pick random instance" of SpawnPoint ->Spawn another object to create enemies.

This is bit more of a basic approach, and isn't truely random, but personally it's what I'd do because it has the advantage of being visual.
