Save a random sprite choice for new layout?

On start of layout I select one of five tiled backgrounds colours to display:

System > On start of layout > System > Create object choose("Colour06","Colour07","Colour08","Colour09","Colour10") on layer "COLOUR" at (-100, -100)

How would I then take whichever one was chosen into the next layout?

Thanks all :)

Sorry, let make it clear.

So you want to create tile randomly for every time you load layout, right?

For another layout, you only put your event in the start of layout

OR

You put it in another eventsheet and include it in other ones.

In Event Sheet 1 on start of layout I choose a random tiled background (Colour06 ... Colour10) and display that in Layout 1. Then on Layout 2 I want whichever tiled background was chosen in Layout 1 to be used.

So how do I pass through to Layout 2 the randomly selected tiled background from Layout 1?

If you want something like that, you will need a global variable to store the name of tileBG in Layout 1

var randomTile(String)

On Start Layout:

Set randomtile to choose("Colour06","Colour07","Colour08","Colour09","Colour10")

Create object randomTile on layer "COLOUR" at (-100, -100)

Then you can move to Layout 2 and create the randomTile only

The second event:

System > create object “BackgroundTile”...

is create object by name.

The second event:

System > create object “BackgroundTile”...

is create object by name.

Plus removing the “” doesn’t make any difference.

I have tested on my side and this work well.

Can you run Debug and check the quantity of your tileBackground?

I think it was created in somewhere in your layout

Managed to get it working - removed the "" from the second event:

System > create "BackgroundTile" on layer "COLOUR"...

so it now reads

System > create BackgroundTile on layer "COLOUR"...

I guess these are the "" you told me to remove initially - thanks for your help with this 👍
