I must admit, I had more fun with DarkBasic than every prog after that.
But GG is a great beginning. Unfortunately it is never finished.

I tryed to make tools that help a little bit. But I don't published them (only StyleGuru) because I had not the time to finish them.
But I think that here and in general on the internet, are enough developer. There are many forums, good hobby Developer offer to work for projects. Not for free, of course. But perhaps TGC is getting a product wich is worth selling to higher prices, then.

And in my opinion, a programmer needs to have the talent to learn the most important skill: ;

yes that can all be done. you can use math.random

So you can use that to make random things happen.

@ chuckster all languages have a built in randomizer, or if there is some minute
unknown language that doesn't, at least we know lua does.
Google search bar is a stout tool that returns much data collected into the
human database over the ages;

https://www.lua.org/pil/18.html
Also, have you looked at the GG lua guide?

lua uses
math.random(low, high, step)
or most simplified in your case; math.random(4)
to make each game unique a certain step must be taken first;

math.randomseed(os.time())

randomize x and z for your entity
(math.random(4) * 10,000) + 5000
or if you have specific spots in mind, link those coordinates to your set of 4 locations.
Then-
SetLocation (e,x,y,z) is the next function to use
set flags so it's done just one time-- a very easy concept in GG lua.

What Lee can do is a Gameguru Pro version including all the goodies we are asking for years, and let the Gameguru classic as is, just to meet the "game maker for everybody", just for learning purpose.
If someone likes the GG pro then buy it and you are contributing with it. IMHO.

Programing and modeling walk together, one makes the mesh and the other bring it to life, and both are AMAZING!!!!!
