i have this code see and it only spawns 1 object I want it to spawn multiple if there is a easy way of doing this please reply
it must spawn from room cords y = 1 because the objects fall from the roof and land on the solid i hope you can help

object_selector=0; 
var i,x1,y1;
i=random(1);
object_selector=round(i);
x1=random(room_width);
y1=random(room_height);
if(object_selector=0)
instance_create(x1,1,obj_tree);
if(object_selector=1)
instance_create(x1,1,obj_object1);

Easy way?

x1 = random(room_width);
y1 = random(room_height);
instance_create(x1,y1,choose(obj_tree,obj_object1)

//with these three lines you can do the same effect
//the choose functions can have more than 2 selections, just so you know
//I also warn you, the choose function also makes the game slightly slower

this however dose not create multiple objects how would I do this?

Like this?:

obj[0] = obj_tree;
obj[1] = obj_object1
i = irandom(1);
//^put this in the create event

var x1, y1;
x1 = random(room_width);
y1 = random(room_height);

repeat(how_many_times_you_want)
instance_create(x1,y1,obj[i])

Have I got it right?
Wait so how do you want it?

A. Create a single object from a selection multiple times
B. Create multiple random objects.
C. None of the above. Please define.

But your code suggests you want a single random object to be created.

create multiple random objects placed through out the map in random spots

Oh, sorry. I didn't know you replied and I totally forgot about this topic.

But should this work then?

instance_create(random(room_width), random(room_height),choose(obj_tree,obj_object1);
//the choose function selects between obj_tree or obj_object1, you can add more objects

if it's still not right, then this?

//CREATE EVENT
array[0] = object0;
array[1] = object1;
array[2] = object2;
//so on, and so forth
amount_of_objects = 3;

[code=auto:0]
// To activate it
instance_create(random(room_width), random(room_height),array[irandom(amount_of_objects)])code]
