The issue I'm currently facing is producing objects at random within certain boundaries.

Code:

For example: 288 > x < 32

I'm just not sure how to go about writing that out in GML. =\

So far for my create_instance is as follows:

Code:

instance_create(random(288), random(224), oMid);

Any help is appreciated. =)

I don't know GML but this line doesn't seem correct
it should be something like

Code:

x = random(254)+33

Yeah, random() returns a real between 0 and the argument given.  Use this rule:

a + random( b - a )
a = left bound
b = right bound

so for 32 < x < 288:

32 + random( 288 - 32 )

or, simplified:

32 + random( 256 )

Thanks you guys, that did the trick. =)
