Problems with RandEnemy, RandObstacle, RandItem

Steven1985 · Feb 13, 2025

Hi, I am using these scripts to have randenemy, randobstacle and randitem but the game is not working.
I am using them in a test stage. On OpenBORLog there's no error.

I attached the game to analyse it . It's a present for a friend of mine.

Thank you in advance.

It is possible?

I believe those random entity spawners do work properly, that's why openborlog doesn't log any erroes. However they might not work they way you want them to be.

Also don't spawn obstacles or anything offscreen too far or else they'd be removed by offscreenkill.
Last but not least,

Code:

spawn   RandObstacle
spawnscript data/scripts/RandZ.c
item RandItem # isn't compatible with RandObstacle
coords  1268 188
at      0

Yep, any drop item declared on RandObstacle won't be carried to spawned obstacle.

Since I had made a rather elaborate thread and hadn’t received any replies, I thought of making a much simpler one. That’s all. Sorry.

Ok, then if that's the case, I need to spawn a chosen obstacle to get a random item. Thank you.

Problems with RandEnemy, RandObstacle, RandItem
