Random Spawns

I would like to make it so that when a variable hits 0, a random amount of a sprite appear in random locations across the screen. How would I do this pls?

-Thanks in advance ;)

Also add a trigger once to that first condition to stop it continually firing.

Thanks for the reply,

so the conditional statements would be if variable = 0 and trigger once, then the actions would be what exactly?

+ Condition: System: If variable = 0

+ Condition: System: Trigger Once

++ Sub-condition: System: Repeat int(random(yourNumber))+1 times

-> Action: System: Create object sprite on layer 0 at (random(maxXvalue), random(maxYvalue))

+ Condition: System: If variable = 0

+ Condition: System: Trigger Once

++ Sub-condition: System: Repeat int(random(yourNumber))+1 times

-> Action: System: Create object sprite on layer 0 at (random(maxXvalue), random(maxYvalue))

Will try later, thank u!!

No worries, here's an example to show it in practice:

thank u so much! Could u explain this pls: int(random(maxSpriteNo))+1 ?

thank u again!!

No problem :-)

int(random(maxSpriteNo))+1 returns a random number of sprites to spawn and works as follows:

-"maxSpriteNo" is the maximum number of sprites you want to spawn.

-"random(maxSpriteNo)" generates a random float between 0 and maxSpriteNo, not including maxSpriteNo.

-"int(random(maxSpriteNo)" removes any numbers after the decimal point of the randomly generated float, returning just the whole number - it's important to note that "int" doesn't round up, so 0.999999 will still return 0.

-By this stage we will have whole number between 0 and maxSpriteNo-1, so we add 1 to provide a number between 1 and maxSpriteNo.

Thank you so much for the detailed response, I understand it now! Thanks alot and have a great day! :)
