How can I get Coins to spawn in Random Locations

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#22

I don’t really understand what you’re talking about? But this is basically exactly what I am talking about.

Let’s say you have 2 positions, “699.21, 30.062, -5415.25”, and then “684.67, 30.062, -5435.845” How could I make it supposed to spawn within those 2 positions? Is there also a way to make there have a max amount of Coins so it doesn’t get laggy, and let’s say you get it 5 max, and it hits those 5 coins, if you collect a coin it will respawn, but since it’s at max it will NOT Respawn till another coin is collected. How can I do that?

I literally just provided a script to achieve that.

#24

Can you explain how I can edit it and get what I want? I don’t really see what to do… for the Spawn1, etc, what do I put, and make it that? A part, a Folder?

#25 
local spawncframes = {CFrame.new(699.21, 30.062, -5415.25), CFrame.new(684.67, 30.062, -5435.845)}
local rand = math.random(1, #spawncframes)
local coin = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Coin")

while task.wait(10) do
	local coinclone = coin:Clone()
	coinclone.CFrame = spawncframes[rand]
	coinclone.Parent = workspace
end

If you still don’t get it then I can’t help.

Why does it do this?

What script are you using? How is everything organised in the explorer window?

#28

This is pretty much what I did

I changed it to 1 for a test thingy

#29

Because the user who replied decided to pick specified CFrames. Terrible method of doing it.

Here’s a perfect method on how to make your coins spawn in random positions.

ZonePlus v3.2.0 | Construct dynamic zones and effectively determine players and parts within their boundaries - Resources / Community Resources - DevForum | Roblox

That right there is a module called ZonePlus made by the one and only ForeverHD. What you would be doing is creating a folder for your zone, putting specific boundings for where you want your coins to spawn in the folder and then using the :getRandomPoint() function to get a random vector in your zone.

I did that at his request though?

#31

Yeah, that’s happening because there are only 2 possible spawn locations and you set the coins to spawn every second. Other than that the script works.

#32

OP wanted it to spawn between the two positions, not at one or the other at random.

#33

Well scattered around the 2 positions, like for example, how Pet Simulator X does it, or just any other game

#34 
local spawncframes = {CFrame.new(699.21, 30.062, -5415.25), CFrame.new(684.67, 30.062, -5435.845)}
local rand = math.random(1, #spawncframes)
local coin = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Coin")

while task.wait(1) do
	local coinclone = coin:Clone()
	local randoms = math.random(-5, 5)
	coinclone.CFrame = spawncframes[rand] + CFrame.new(randoms, randoms, randoms)
	coinclone.Parent = workspace
end

Here, the coins will now scatter around those two spawn areas. I didn’t realise this was the behavior you wanted.

#35

I’ve created an example for you, I dislike spoon feeding as it completely removes any point of me replying but whatever.

I’ll link you the API as well so you can do your own reading up.

Zone - ZonePlus (1foreverhd.github.io)

Here’s a basic coin spawning system. It won’t reward anything but it just instances new parts on a random position in a zone.

I seem to get this error? (I think I fixed it) Also how can I make it have a max Coins in that spot? Lets say 5 coins max in that area

#37

It’s still going to spawn in a very limited position and in a real game will indeed look off.

#38 
local spawncframes = {CFrame.new(699.21, 30.062, -5415.25), CFrame.new(684.67, 30.062, -5435.845)}
local rand = math.random(1, #spawncframes)
local coin = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Coin")

while task.wait(10) do
	local coinclone = coin:Clone()
	local random = math.random(-5, 5)
	coinclone.CFrame = spawncframes[rand]
	coinclone.Position += Vector3.new(random, random, random)
	coinclone.Parent = workspace
end
#39

How can I make it spawn a Coin with scripts inside it, if you don’t mind answering.

#40

You would used .Touched (make sure to destroy the connection afterwards of course) to detect when the coin has been touched. From there you would program it to add a number to a leaderstat and so on. There are tutorials for this on youtube by the way.

#41

No no I mean for it to spawn a Coin that I already have, instead of the brick…
