Help with math.random

[AstroStudioz]

How can i change the position of the tools which are dropped by an enemy after he dies? Currently if he drops multiple tools at once they kind of stack inside of eachother.

dropBlock.Handle.CFrame = (position)
				wait(.2)
				local anchor = Instance.new("Part")
				anchor.Name = "AnchorPart"
				anchor.Size = Vector3.new(2, 2, 2)
				anchor.Transparency = 1
				anchor.Anchored = true
				anchor.CanCollide = false
				anchor.Parent = model
				anchor.CFrame = CFrame.new(dropBlock.Handle.Position) * CFrame.new(0, 1.5, 0)
				if player.Character then
					anchor.CFrame = CFrame.new(anchor.Position, Vector3.new(
						player.Character.Head.Position.X,
						anchor.Position.Y,
						player.Character.Head.Position.Z))
					anchor.CFrame = anchor.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi * 2 * amountNum / amount, 0)
					anchor.CFrame = anchor.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 3) -- Place it farther from the player
				end

local exactPosition = Vector3.new(5, 19, -22)
local randomizedPosition = exactPosition + Vector3.new(math.random(-500, 500) / 100, 0, math.random(-500, 500) / 100)

are you calling this in a loop? if you want to evenly space them in a radius about the player you might achieve that using this:

Place Items In a Circle (like Tokens In Bee Swarm)

This is just a nifty little function I whipped up using a bit of trig that I felt like sharing. It takes a vector3 and returns a table of vector3s which represent points in a circle around it in a landscape orientation, Similar to the ways tokens spawn in bee swarm simulator. [image] Nothing too complicated --arclength represents the distance between each point (as an arc) --I recommend it be the size of the items plus a bit of leeway. local function ComputeCircleCoords(StartVector3, amount…

your immediate problem is you’re doing the same operation each time, set, angle, push away, so they’re all ending in the same location. Cheaper would be to +/- a random value in 2d along the XZ plane from the players’ position, but no guarantee the chosen location doesn’t appear inside the player or inside an existing anchor part. Perhaps you could raycast down from above the player to check a spot isn’t already occupied by the anchor though.
