hi there!

need help with trying to figure out how to make a sprite go to a random spot on the map but without it clipping through the level?

if you can help me big thanks!

im not sure given the context, but i hope this help:

repeat until <not <touching [level v] ?>>
go to x: (pick random (-240) to (240)) y: (pick random (-180) to (180))
end

end

Also might be better if you change the -240 to the lowest x, the 240 to the highest x, and do the same for the y.

Here's what I'd do. Ventoaurum's solution won't execute at all if it's already in a valid position, but this will always execute at least once.

define go
go to [random position v]
if <touching [level v] ?> then
go
end

big thanks!

Oh my god same because the 2.0 versions I use have no random position block LOL
Also you could use the solution given above or if you want a random set of positions on the level:

BoltBait made this years ago but I didn't want to link it in case necropost.
