Is there a way to randomly spawn a part, or a group of parts, around a map?
I've been trying to figure out how to spawn a group of parts, or one part, around a map randomly (an npc, a tree, a log something like that), and I can't really figure it out. I've tried looking it up in a few places, but nobody clarifies anything. If someone could help me, I'd be very grateful! Please also let me know where to put the script :) Thank you for your help in advance.

You can use math.Random to generate a random number between 1 and how many spawns in a folder (The folder will have to contain invisible parts that the items will randomly spawn at!)
local spawns = workspace.ItemSpawns:GetChildren() local randomVal = math.random(1, #spawns)
This picks a random number inside a variable, which you can use for later on in the script
You can get the item and clone it, then parent it to the workspace:
local item = game.ReplicatedStorage.Item:Clone() item.Parent = workspace
Finally you set the position of the cloned item to a random spawn then set the random spawn to a folder named "Taken" this is to make sure the spawn wont be used again (to prevent multiple items spawning in that location):
item.Position = spawns[randomVal].Position spawns[randomVal].Parent = workspace.Taken
All together you should have:
local spawns = workspace.ItemSpawns:GetChildren() local randomVal = math.random(1, #spawns) local item = game.ReplicatedStorage.Item:Clone() item.Parent = workspace item.Position = spawns[randomVal].Position spawns[randomVal].Parent = workspace.Taken
Have a great day, if this works make sure to mark it as the solution. If you have questions about the code, you can ask!
