    if you want to use spawning you just use a Random(0,320) function for where it spawns your x position but many people have done similar games with game salad and I believe most use a recycle technique to just keep moving the platforms back up to the top in a new random x position

    I just tried also. Apparently he took it down from being downloadable you might try PMing him to see if he is willing to give you a copy.

    I just released A jump style game (Orbitz! Jump Adventure) and You don't spawn the platforms, you put them in the scene and as the get to the bottom they have a rule to place them back at the top (before entering the screen area) in a random x position.

    You can either use another actor that they overlap outside the bottom screen to trigger an event or set the attribute to y< (bottom position number) then changeY to top positionnumber type of thing.

    My game was based on ToastKittens doodle template made available last August. Still took me 8 months (should have been 6) to incorporate enemies and power ups for proper gameplay.
