Hi,

 no worries

 generate three variables randomly ( x y and z) using the action "Random Float", and then inject it into a vector3 variable or simply use it in "set position" action.

 yes?

also, there is a cool custom action to pick a random point on a unit sphere, use that and then multiply it and it will give a random point too, where aou can actually control very accuratly the distance ( the radius of the sphere, which is the multiplier value here)

Thank you so much I think I understand one of the methods and will give it a try now... May I ask something random. Since I have your attention. This keeps happening and its kinda confusing me lol.

Say I have my game set to PC mac in the build settings and under projects settings input I made sure its under key/mouse. Now here is the confusing thing, sometimes when I make a "get button down" under the button name, sometimes I have the whole list. And I can scroll and choose for instance Right arrow, or left arrow... But than sometimes the list is not there.

I dont know what settings I applied to make it there, but its so confusing. If you have time and you know what this is, thank you in advance. Its not super important I guess, so whenever you have time. Super thanx!!

So I have tried this...

"generate three variables randomly ( x y and z) using the action "Random Float", and then inject it into a vector3 variable or simply use it in "set position" action."

And it works thank you so much
