I'm trying to get my attacker to spawn at a random Y coordinate. I tried CREATE OBJECT at X,Y and typing in Random(400) in the Y coordinate box (radio button At actual X,Y coordinates),
but it won't accept it.
I tried Ctrl+E (Event Editor);
1.*Start of Frame - (under Invader) *Set Y position to Random(400)
but again, it didn't work.
As always, any tips, suggestions, ideas are greatly appreciated.

Just create an enemy at the X coordinate that you want, doesn't matter the Y value. Then right after that action set the Y position to Random(400)

That's what I thought, but all my Invaders spawn at the same Y coord. I must have set the Y coord somewhere else and its overriding my Random...

Yep, that was it. I had a Start of Frame event which placed my Invader at X:650, Y:0
Deleted that, and it works now.
Thanks!!!

Random(400) generates a random number from 1-400. Does Random(380) +10 work to generate random numbers between 10 and 390?

Close, it will generate a random number between 10 and 389.
Because, random(x) generates a random number between 0 and x, not 1 and x.
