[_256605]

I wish to create an image/object within a range of x = 0, y = 0 to x = 360, y = 360 if its place is empty.
My image/object size is 36 by 36
Should I use place_free or or place_empty and how should I go about doing it
For example:
if place_free(x + 0, y + 0 to x + 360, y + 360) = true
instance_create(x = mouse_x, y = mouse_y, obj_green)

In normal cases, you may use place_empty; but actually place_meeting gives you better control.
Refer to loops ( "for statement" and "do statement" found under GML language overview) in the help file.
Also, you don't write like "instance_create(x=crap1,y=crap2);" but like this "instance_create(crap1,crap2);"
Last, but not the least, always refer to help file.
