Hi I am trying to do a spawn system that when a player dies(there are 8 players) he jumps_to_position randomly to 1 of 3 differents ones
Spawn1:1712x722y
Spawn2:672x1744y
Spawn3:864x384y
Also If there is a collision with a player in that position, he has to spawn the nearest positon to the spawn without colliding with the player.

Thank you for reading and helping. You'll be in Credits!

You could use the random function on create-event of the player object.

Player CREATE-event:

//Set variable. Round means it rounds the number up or down, depending on the closest integer.
//NOTE: random(3) will never return 3, unless you use the "ceil" - function instead of "round".
SpawningPosition=round(random(3))

//Spawn code:
if SpawningPosition=0
 {
 if place_free(1712, 722) //You could also use collision_point(1712, 722, obj_player, true, true) to define a
  {			  //specific object to check at the coordinates, in case there are other objects.
  x=1712
  y=722
  }
 else
  {
  x=1712+sprite_width
  y=722+sprite_width
  }
 }

if SpawningPosition=1
 {
 if place_free(672, 1744)
  {
  x=672
  y=1744
  }
 else
  {
  x=672+sprite_width
  y=1744+sprite_width
  }
 }

if SpawningPosition=2
 {
 if place_free(864, 384)
  {
  x=864
  y=384
  }
 else
  {
  x=864+sprite_width
  y=384+sprite_width
  }
 }

This code is pretty simple. If you run into trouble let me know .

EDIT: Whops, to slow

Create event:

spawn_v[0, 0] = 1712
spawn_v[0, 1] = 722
spawn_v[1, 0] = 672
spawn_v[1, 1] = 1744
spawn_v[2, 0] = 864
spawn_v[2, 1] = 384

Spawn event:

spawn = irandom(2)

var tx, ty;
tx = spawn_v[spawn, 0]
ty = spawn_v[spawn, 1]

while (place_meeting(tx, ty, obj_player))
{
tx += lengthdir_x(10, random(360))
ty += lengthdir_y(10, random(360))
}
x = tx
y = ty

You mean you like the view to follow an object?

You can simply set that in the room editor at the view tab!

...or use this code...

view_xview[0] = obj_player.x - view_wview[0] / 2
view_yview[0] = obj_player.y - view_hview[0] / 2

or did you mean an object to follow the view, like an UI?

x = view_xview[0]
y = view_yview[0]

draw_text(x + 10, y + 10, 'AMAGAD! TEXT IN THE VIEW CORNER!'

Thank you, but what I am asking is: I have an object that has apeared in a random position of the room, but now we can see it in the view(obiously if the camera moves the object will get out of the view) i want to get his create xview and yview and make it persistent in the points of the view

Thank you for trying to help,my english is not the best

I'm sorry but I don't understand the question, the only thing I can think of (other then what I've already posted) is that the player will be spawning inside the view?

[codmaker]

I created obj_uav on a random position of view1 examle: view_xview+100, view_yview+80... the problem is that i don't know his view coordinates.
I want the object to stay in those view coordinates, even my player moves(my camera follows this object)

[filulilus]

Oooooooooooooooooooooh.... now I see!

You like an object to stay inside the view like he is a member of the players team?

The view varaibles like "view_xview[0]" are global variables which mean they can be accesed by any object!

if x < view_xview[0]
{
//no no no, go back they way you came from!
x += 10
//or
hspeed = -hspeed
//or some other turn code...
}

if x > view_xview[0] + view_hview[0]
{
//no no no, go back they way you came from!
x -= 10
//or
hspeed = -hspeed
//or some other turn code...
}
