How can I get Coins to spawn in Random Locations

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#42

You would parent the coin to the spawner script, use a variable to define it and then instead of instancing a part just clone the coin.

#43

It would look fine if you want specific areas which spawn coins as opposed to an entire map with randomly spawned coins.

not really sure why but it does this

#45 
local randoms = math.random(-5, 5)
coinclone.Position += Vector3.new(randoms, randoms, randoms)

You’d need to change these two lines of code, to change how the coins are scattered.

Something like this might work better:

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 randoms1 = math.random(-15, 15)
	local randoms2 = math.random(-15, 15)
	local randoms3 = math.random(-15, 15)
	coinclone.CFrame = spawncframes[rand]
	coinclone.Position += Vector3.new(randoms1, randoms2, randoms3)
	coinclone.Parent = workspace
end
#46

What part makes it go up? I don’t want it go up like this. image
I just want it to be at 0 for the height

#47

If you’re referring to my code sample as “an entire map randomly spawned with coins”, I’d recommend looking into the API I linked. The module for zones that I use works in folders meaning you can create zones as large or as tiny as you want all in the same folder and a random point will only be generated inside of those zones.

As for your code though, indeed it would look fine once a user would change up the values.

#48

Like this?

local ZoneModule = require(script:WaitForChild("Zone"))
local CoinZone = ZoneModule.new(game.Workspace:WaitForChild("CoinZone"))
local coin = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Coin")

while task.wait(1) do
	local coinclone = coin:Clone()
end
#49

Pretty sure it’s because of the Y change.

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 randoms1 = math.random(-15, 15)
	local randoms2 = 15
	local randoms3 = math.random(-15, 15)
	coinclone.CFrame = spawncframes[rand]
	coinclone.Position += Vector3.new(randoms1, randoms2, randoms3)
	coinclone.Parent = workspace
end

That should keep them all at the same position.

#50 
local ZoneModule = require(script:WaitForChild("Zone"))
local CoinZone = ZoneModule.new(game.Workspace:WaitForChild("CoinZone"))
local coin = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Coin")

while task.wait(1) do
	local coinclone = coin:Clone()
        coinclone.Position = CoinZone:getRandomPoint()
        coinclone.Parent = game.Workspace
end
#51

Okay, and is there a way to make it have a Max amount of Coins (spawn), and once it hits the max it wont spawn again till you collect a coin? If that makes sense

#52 
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 randoms1 = math.random(-15, 15)
	local randoms2 = math.random(-15, 15)
	local randoms3 = math.random(-15, 15)
	coinclone.CFrame = spawncframes[rand]
	coinclone.Position += Vector3.new(randoms1, 0, randoms3)
	coinclone.Parent = workspace
end

The Y component of Vector3 values causes a shift in the Y axis of a physical instance, here by setting it to 0 you retain the Y component of the original CFrame.

local ZoneModule = require(script:WaitForChild("Zone"))
local CoinZone = ZoneModule.new(game.Workspace:WaitForChild("CoinZone"))
local coin = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Coin")
local CoinAmount = 0
local MaxCoinAmount = 50

while task.wait(1) do
        if CoinAmount <= MaxCoinAmount then
        CoinAmount = CoinAmount + 1
	local coinclone = coin:Clone()
        coinclone.Position = CoinZone:getRandomPoint()
        coinclone.Parent = game.Workspace
        coinclone.Touched:Connect(function()
                CoinAmount = CoinAmount - 1
               coinclone:Destroy()
        end)
       end
end

Something like this.

Ah okay I understand, now just a few more questions, how can I do the Max Coin thingy, and how can I make it not on it’s side?
