Cannot figure this out...

For some weird reason, the runes are always created at the center of the map. Always. I have "Fixed Random Seed' unchecked and I've also tested through the game directly.

Runes
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Wait (Random real number between 5.00 and 20.00) seconds
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Random integer number between 1 and 4), do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Rune_Point = (Random point in Playable_Area)
                Item - Create Chaos_Item[(Random integer number between 0 and 4)] at Rune_Point
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Rune_Point)
        Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)

First of all... i just don?t see any events.... i'm even thinking if your trigger really works.
But beside that i see that the only problem you have is that you don't set the location... i mean you have to set a specific location (if it's variable than use POINT not REGION because you don't spawn multiple runes at a time). The rest looks fine... Hope i helped

The trigger is first run from another trigger so it works.
And I do set the location:

Set Rune_Point = (Random point in Playable_Area)

Where do you set Playable_Area, and do you ever destroy it? (AFAIK, you shouldn't.)

In my initialization trigger, and no I never destroy it and I use it (Playable_Area) for a lot of triggers. Not just this one, and they all work fine.

umm, i just created a replica of your trigger and it works perfectly. every 5 to 20 seconds it spawns 1 - 4 items, 4 different items can spawn, it removes the rune_point and it runs the trigger again.
your mistake must be in the other triggers, make sure that you didn't set your "playable_area" variable as "playable_area" (coz i nearly made that mistake)
EDIT- just checked it, if you set your "playable_area" variable as the "playable_area" variable, it will spawn all items at the center of the map

Hmm no this is extremely weird. I copied & pasted the trigger into a blank map, along with the items, and it worked perfectly fine. In the original map however, it didn't work. Btw, I changed it to "Playable map area" (the non-variable one) and it still didn't work.

This is weird indeed.

EDIT: Nevermind, I solved it. I had been working with a very old version of the map and forgot that in it, I ended up deleting the Playable_Area variable. I feel like such an idiot. Thanks for the help everyone.
