If you want it to be on the outside, you can make it so that the furthest parts that are still in the cylinder are kept.

Honestly i dont see why it isnt working

Except i dont see the purpose of the repeat until, can you explain?

I suggest calculating a random position by

Local bombPos = Button.Position + Vector3.new(math.random etc

#24

I want it to be on the inside

#25

i am repeating so it doenst calculate a pos outside

#26

You dont need to if you set the random to a number smaller than the radius of the circle

#27

well how do i calculate the pos in the circle

#28

You said you want it to spawn outside.

I can’t help you unless you make up your mind.

#29

Add the button position or circle position to the random vector

#30

Wait I think I understand what you meant now, this is true. You will not need to use a while loop to get this running.

inside

This text will be blurred

#32

The function detects parts in a part, so this will detect if it’s inside. This is what you want, right?

If button is at 100,1,0 then

Button.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-50,50), 0, math.random(-50,50))

Will return values in a 50 stud radius from the point 100,1,0

I realised this is a square sorry

#35

does it have to be parented to the part or just near its position?

#36

The function requires both to be a descendant of WorldRoot.

#37

But ur telling me where to position the button not the spawned part

#38

No

The button will be in the middle of the circle right?

So adding this random vector to its position gives a position around the button

Which you can use for the bomb

BombPos = Button.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-35,35), 0, math.random(-35,35))

#39

There’s no need to set the bomb’s position to a random Vector3 until it’s within a certain radius. Instead, use the parametric equation to place a point at a random distance r and random angle theta away from the center coordinates.

This will be much a faster solution than selecting a random position and checking if it’s within 35 studs of Button.Position, since the randomizer only runs once per bomb instead of an unlimited number of times.

for i = 1, 20 do
	local NewBomb = game.ReplicatedStorage.GroundBomb:Clone()

	local randomAngle = math.random(0, 2*math.pi) --Random angle in radians.
	local randomDistance = math.random(0, 35) --Random distance.
	local x = Button.Position.X + randomDistance*math.sin(randomAngle) --The button's X coordinate is used to offset the value returned by r * sin(theta)
	local z = Button.Position.Z + randomDistance*math.cos(randomAngle) --Ditto, but for Z and cos(theta)
	
	NewBomb:PivotTo(CFrame.new(x, Button.Position.Y, z)) --Move the bomb's CFrame to the new random position.
	NewBomb.Parent = workspace --Set parent to workspace so it actually spawns in.
end

Why is sin used on x and cos used on z
