Random position spawning

Hi there, I am using the following code to generate some prefabs to spawn and that works great however I would love it for the spawning to be random across the entire screen. I only need it to be random in the X and Y direction as it's a 2d game.

Below is my current spawning code. Is there a way to use Random Range to randomly spawn the positioning of the object. Thank you

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class SpawnScript : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public GameObject[] obj;
7.     public float spawnMin = 1f;
8.     public float spawnMax = 2f;
9.  
10.    
11.  
12.      void Start ()
13.    
14.     {
15.         Spawn();
16.  
17.     }
18.  
19.  
20.     void Spawn ()
21.     {
22.  
23.         Instantiate(obj[Random.Range (0, obj.GetLength(0))], transform.position, Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -360));
24.  
25.         Invoke ("Spawn", Random.Range (spawnMin, spawnMax));
26.  
27.     }
28.  
29.  
30. }
31.  
32.  

 

Random.range gives you one random number between a low number and a high number. You just need to call it twice, once for x coordinate and once for y coordinate. Then spawn at those coordinates. E.g. random.range(0,Screen.width-1) And Random.range(0,Screen.height-1)

 

depends on your coordinate system and scale though as to how much coordinates cover the screen. you can do random.value()*width whatever the units is.

 

Cheers I will have to have a play with it, I'm really new at coding thank you for the reply

 

Basically got it working with this. Values need tweaking but its giving a decent result so far.

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject[] obj;
2.     public float spawnMin = 1f;
3.     public float spawnMax = 2f;
4.     public float horizontalMin = 1f;
5.     public float horizontalMax = 5f;
6.     public float verticalMin = -2f;
7.     public float verticalMax = 2f;
8.  
9.     private Vector2 originPosition;
10.     private Vector2 originDimentions;
11.    
12.      void Start ()
13.    
14.     {
15.  
16.         originDimentions = transform.localScale;
17.         originPosition = transform.position;
18.         Spawn();
19.  
20.     }
21.  
22.     void Spawn ()
23.     {
24.  
25.  
26.         Vector2 randomPosition = originPosition + new Vector2(Random.Range(horizontalMin, horizontalMax), Random.Range(verticalMin, verticalMax));
27.         Instantiate(obj[Random.Range (0, obj.GetLength(0))], randomPosition, Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -360));
28.         originPosition = randomPosition;
29.      
30.         Invoke ("Spawn", Random.Range (spawnMin, spawnMax));
31.          
32.     }
