How do I get Coins to Respawn in Random Positions?

[cosmicasd (dun)]

Hi, I’m trying to make a random coin spawning system where coins will spawn in a certain area, but have different positions in that area. The problem is that whenever I collect a coin they will respawn in that same position they were before. Is there any way where I can make the coins respawn in random positions?

Here is the code inside ServerScriptService:

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local function collectCoin(coinMesh, rPosition)
	coinMesh.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			if player then
				player.leaderstats.Stars.Value += coinMesh.Reward.Value
				task.spawn(function()
					coinMesh.Parent = replicatedStorage
					task.wait(math.random(1,5))
					local Pos = Vector3.new(rPosition.X, 3.75, rPosition.Z)
					coinMesh.Position = Pos
					coinMesh.Parent = workspace.Debris
				end)
			end
		end
	end)
end

local function spawnCoin(coinMesh, spawnArea)
	local newCoin = coinMesh:Clone()
	newCoin.Parent = workspace.Debris
	
	local spacing = 2
	local SpawnRandomPosition = spawnArea.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-spawnArea.Size.X / spacing, spawnArea.Size.X / spacing), 3.75, math.random(-spawnArea.Size.Z / spacing, spawnArea.Size.Z / spacing))
	local randomPosition = Vector3.new(SpawnRandomPosition.X, 3.75, SpawnRandomPosition.Z)
	
	coinMesh.Position = randomPosition
	
	collectCoin(newCoin, SpawnRandomPosition)
end

for _, spawnArea in workspace.CoinSpawns:GetChildren() do
	for i = 1, 20, 1 do
		spawnCoin(script.Star, spawnArea)
	end
end

if you make a part that spreads across the area where you want them to spawn you can do this:

local spawnArea = workspace.part -- where you want them to spawn

local halfSize = spawnArea.Size/2
local randX = math.random(-halfSize.X, halfSize.X)
local randZ = math.random(-halfSize.Z, halfSize.Z)

local rCF = spawnArea.CFrame + Vector3.new(randX, 0, randZ)
-- random position in cframe form

since the coin would spawn in the middle of the spawn area if you set the cframe the same, you can halve the size of it and get the upper and lower boundaries of the part

additionally, if you want the areas that they spawn at to be spaced out evenly, you could do this:

local spawnArea = workspace.part

local halfSize = spawnArea.Size/2
local spacing = 1 -- how far apart you want them to be (in studs)

local spawnAreas = {}

for x = -halfSize.X, halfSize.X, spacing do -- get list of all possible spawns
  for z = -halfSize.Z, halfSize.Z, spacing do
    local cf = spawnArea.CFrame + Vector3.new(x, 0, z)
    table.insert(spawnAreas, cf)
  end
end

local randomCFrame = spawnAreas[math.random(1,#spawnAreas)]
-- choose from list randomly

initializing the list of spawn areas everytime you want to choose a spawn area for it would be inefficient so i’d recommend only running that once and just running the last line of code to pick a random spot

I found a solution already here’s the code:

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local function collectCoin(coinMesh, rPosition, spawnArea)
	coinMesh.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			if player then
				player.leaderstats.Stars.Value += coinMesh.Reward.Value
				task.spawn(function()
					coinMesh.Parent = replicatedStorage
					task.wait(math.random(1,5))

					local spacing = 2
					local SpawnRandomPosition = spawnArea.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-spawnArea.Size.X / spacing, spawnArea.Size.X / spacing), 3.75, math.random(-spawnArea.Size.Z / spacing, spawnArea.Size.Z / spacing))
					local randomPosition = Vector3.new(SpawnRandomPosition.X, 3.75, SpawnRandomPosition.Z)
					
					coinMesh.Position = randomPosition
					coinMesh.Parent = workspace.Debris
				end)
			end
		end
	end)
end

local function spawnCoin(coinMesh, spawnArea)
	local nSpawn = spawnArea
	local newCoin = coinMesh:Clone()
	newCoin.Parent = workspace.Debris
	
	local spacing = 2
	local SpawnRandomPosition = spawnArea.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-spawnArea.Size.X / spacing, spawnArea.Size.X / spacing), 3.75, math.random(-spawnArea.Size.Z / spacing, spawnArea.Size.Z / spacing))
	local randomPosition = Vector3.new(SpawnRandomPosition.X, 3.75, SpawnRandomPosition.Z)
	
	coinMesh.Position = randomPosition
	
	collectCoin(newCoin, SpawnRandomPosition, nSpawn)
end

for _, spawnArea in workspace.CoinSpawns:GetChildren() do
	for i = 1, 20, 1 do
		spawnCoin(script.Star, spawnArea)
	end
end
