    You want two actors to spawn at a certain distance from each other, but in a random location?

    I don't know what "aparescan" means so I'm having trouble understanding your sentence. I assume it was a Google Translate term but even Google doesn't seem to know. :P

    But if you need to keep two spawned actors apart from each other, I would spawn one actor and then have it spawn the second actor at a certain distance away from itself. You'd need to worry about scene edges but other than that it's not complicated.

    Here's an example:

    Edit: forgot the Y value... it should also be (random(0,1) * 2-1) * 50 where 50 is the distance. And, um, this doesn't work. I was shooting for a circular area of spawning but it just does four corners. FRIDAY BRAIN!

    How about checking for a collision between the two objects once they are spawned. If one is colliding with the other destroy that actor and spawn it in a new spot.

    You could spawn in a circular area with

    Change R to random (0,100)
    Change A to random (0,360)
    Spawn at:
    X = R * cos(A)
    Y = R * sin(A)

    Although this would be a radial random distribution (is that even a term ?), by that I mean the spawning would be equally distributed along 'lines' leading from the centre to the edge, which necessarily means there will be a bias towards being spawned nearer the centre (where the 'lines' are closer) - you could do a genuinely circular area spawn, but I can't be bothered to do the maths right now :)

    The forum formatting screws up posts with '*' in them . . . .

    So, the rules should read:

    Change R to random (0,100)
    Change A to random (0,360)
    Spawn at:
    X = R * cos(A)
    Y = R * sin(A)

    Note:

    R = Radius
    A = Angle

    excuse my ignorance Radius and angle are attributes real ? where the meeting

    The Random function only generates integers, you can use 'real' attributes if you want, it's your choice.

    If you want 'real' values then you can do this . . . .

    Change R to random (0,100000)/1000
    Change A to random (0,360000)/1000

    For example 188695/100 = 188.695

    Yes do real for best precision

    The random function only generates integers (see my post above).

    P.S metaphysical question of the day, what does 'precision' mean in the context of generating a random value :p :)

    Lol yea true... I saw angles and radius and moving in a circle and just kinda jumped in with a bad answer.
    Shhh just act like I was never here....

    I cannot help, your language is too difficult for me to understand, perhaps if English is not your first language you could express your ideas with drawings/images ? They often work really well and break down language barriers.

    I do like the game of jetpack joyride that actors are generated randomly coins do not intersect with laser

    My best guess is that the coins and lasers in jetpack joyride are not actually completely random.
    One way to do it is to have many preset scenarios of where the coin items spawn and the laser items spawn
    Then randomly choose those scenarios
