Is there any way I can choose a random object (from a group) and display it on the screen at a certain position using an action? Please help.
AFAIK no, there is no action to do it, but you can do two things:
If there are few objects in the group (e.g. 3, 4… 5 objects), you can do:
[code]Conditions: Conditions to create the object
Actions: Do = Random(4) to the variable random_index // random_index is a random number between 0 and 4
// Sub-event 1
Conditions: Variable random_index is = 0
Actions: Create object A at position X;Y
// Sub-event 2
Conditions: Variable random_index is = 1
Actions: Create object B at position X;Y
...[/code]
If you have a lot of objects in the group, maybe you want to make a list, a structure variable called “Group” with childs that map an index with an object name, this way:
Group
0 ObjectA
1 ObjectB
2 ObjectC
...
Now, with this long structure, you can use a simple event to get a random object from this structure, but you have to use the action to create an object from its name:
Conditions: Conditions to create the object
Actions: Do = Random(50) to the variable random_index // random_index is a random number between 0 and 50
Among objects in the group YourGroup, create the object named VariableString(Group[VariableString(random_index)]) at position X;Y
Thanks Lizard-13, your answer helped a lot!
