i dont think there is a way to make it random you could get like 5 and spawn them in the same place over and over but with different spawn times like 33,5,7,1,4,12 that way they would spawn random kinda

You could just do the whole Meteor thing, have like, 20 thigns shooting down, but put a slight spread on the projectile maybe? So it wont shoot exactly in the same spot each time! (If that'l work)

nope, it wont... because i have it set so that it spawns items right, then i switched the item it spawned from an equip into a projectile... so theres nothing i can do about the spread... at least that i know of...
