  System Compare two values : random(100)<10

  This will give you 10% chance.

  Implementing this algorithm with events will be a difficult task. There are quite a few JS examples, you can use one of them to do all the hard work.

  You can't do this with Text Input object.

  Use Text object and this addon:

  Does it say "USE ITEM WITH..." or does it say "[background=#000000]USE ..."?

  Can you copy-paste this object into a new project, test and if it has the same issue, share this project file?

  Each of 10 sprites should have different animation, no repeats? You can name animations A1, A2, A3 etc. and do this:

  Repeat 10 times
  	Create sprite at random(layoutWidth), random(layoutHeight)
  	Sprite set animation to "A" & (loopindex+1)
  

  Spawning them without overlapping is a different problem, you can check a couple of examples here:

  So what happens exactly? The CursorText object appears with "Use item with.." text, but no background? Or you don't see the text at all?

  I don't know how this can be possible, you need to post your project file.

  It's not a bug, it's the way picking works. Check out this post:

  construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/pick-instance-comparing-140726

  Basically, if you pick a road by road.id=choose(0,1), the engine checks every road instance separately. And for every road instance it generates a new choose(0,1) number to test against. That's why sometimes one road is picked, sometimes none, and sometimes both. (when both roads are picked, player is created on the first road, that's why you can see more players on the first road).

  Here is how to fix this:

  I was hoping it would be simple. In your opinion, is Construct 3 going to be the least difficult of the game engines to work in?

  It's not a terribly difficult task, but it will definitely be time consuming. I don't think it will be any easier in other game engines.

  Here is a quick and basic demo with swipes:

  Dragging and proper wrapping will require more work.

  "[background=#000000]USE "&ITEM_NAME&" WITH...[/background]" - this is correct, I tested and it's working, I got text on black background.

  If it doesn't work for you, please post a screenshot of your events.

  I did this with a tilemap:

  If you add all NPC sprites to a family, you can create a family instance, and a random family member will be created.

  Another option is to use Create by Name action - Create by Name choose("Barmaid","Drunk","Patron",...)

  Use "Repeat 2 times" to create two instances.

  You should only enable this block when the cutscene starts. Or add a condition "MoveTo is moving"
