Randomly Generate Enemies/Items
I know this has probably been asked a lot before, but what is a script for making enemies randomly generate? 
Same for items, but I assume they can use the same script. 
Thanks!

Re: Randomly Generate Enemies/Items
It depends. Could you specify what you mean by "randomly generate"? Thanks!

Re: Randomly Generate Enemies/Items
We need to know the context of your problem. I don't know how to solve it right now, but I recommend using these blocks - (item (any) of (list) ) and (pick random () to () )

Re: Randomly Generate Enemies/Items
If you mean spawn them randomly, that will be possible in Scratch 2.0.

Re: Randomly Generate Enemies/Items
I mean spawn them in random places on a map. It's a RPG I'm making, so could there be a way to make enemies appear at a random location on a map when you enter?

Is the RPG top-down or side-scrolling?

Just have it set x to a random number from -240 to 240, set y to a random number from -180 to 180, and then have it show.

Just use the "set x to __" and "set y to __" blocks from the motion tab but instead of putting numbers in them, use the "pick random __ to __" with those parameters. Now does it make sense?
Sorry, I would show you with scratchblocks but I can't figure out how do make what I want.

Re: Randomly Generate Enemies/Items
Ah ok. I figured out the set x to but couldn't figure out the random number part. But I found it. I tested it on my health items and it works! Now to make some enemies. Thanks!

Re: Randomly Generate Enemies/Items
for further clarification:
go to x: (pick random (-240) to (240)) y: (pick random (-180) to (180))
