Spawning objects in 2d space with a certain distance between each other

Question

Hi guys,
I created a script that spawn 10 objects at the start of the game in random location.

extends Node2D

var n = 10
var object = load("res://Object.tscn")

func _ready():
    randomize()
    spawn()

func spawn():
    for i in n:
        var x = rand_range(0,300)
        var y = rand_range(0,300)
        var rand_pos = Vector2(x,y)

        var object_instance = object.instance()
        object_instance.position = rand_pos
        add_child(object_instance)

How can I make sure that all of the objects are a certain distance from each other?
I want to leave a minimum distance between them.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks

Answer 1

You could use a range [1, 10[, multiply by 30, and add a random [-5, 5]. This leaves you with a minimum distance of 20, without the placement grid being too apparent.
Also store the position of previously placed items to not select the same spot twice.

Sorry could you be a little more specific? I can't quite understand what you mean.

can you be more specific please

Answer 2

You can use an Array object to save the data of distance~
