Random Spawning Question

edited January 2012 in Working with GS (Mac)
I've got 24 items spawning randomly (in a row), Never more than 6 or 7of these items on the screen at the same time.

Is there a way to make it where only 1 item (lets call it Star) of the same type shows up once before it's destroyed or moves off screen? Instead of sometimes showing 2 or 3 Stars on the screen at the same time.

To re-word in an effort to make it a little clearer. Can you control how many or how often an item spawns with random. So it doesn't show up ever more than 1 at a time (so you don't have 3 of the same thing in a row). But still keep it random?

I would like to apply this to all 24 items.

Any Help would be much appreciated!!!!!

    Thanks FryingBaconStudios for the link!


    Hope one of the videos can point me in the right dirrection. Most of them I have seen already, and those did not talk about limiting or controlling how often the actor shows up on the scene at the same time.

    Like stated above I'm wanting to control the random spawn so it only show the actor (item) once on the screen at any given spawn. So it does not show up 3 times in a row on the scene at the same time.

    Is there a tutorial or video on this anywhere?

    Thanks again for your help!

    Never mind... I solved it. Was easy I just needed to think about it and add a counter.
