Hi,

I am new to Godot and would like to create multiple instances of the same sprite programatically in a scene at random x,y coordinates. Searching the web I found that it’s possible to instance multiple scenes but this seems a bit too much for this task?

Can I instance multiple sprite nodes using a script? Or is it possible to use a single sprite node with multiple textures and coordinates?

Thanks for your help.

If you only want to draw the textures at different points and won’t be keeping track of their positions, you could use custom drawing with draw_texture() and pass in random positions. Custom drawing in 2D.

Other than that, you can just create a loop to create a set number of sprites and you can control the texture and position of each of them. Depends on your needs.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
