How can i get parts in a random position within another part?

[fervent smelt]

But without touching each other and within a certain distance? I'm trying to make a procedural dungeon game with rooms at random positions and hallways connecting them, but how can i make them not touch each other and not be so far

add a magnitude check

[fervent smelt]

but after i create the rooms? how would i do so every room has a magnitude check with every room except theirs? this is my code

accidentally typed a S but anyway

[vivid hearth]

you do a loop that checks every room's magnitude with every other room and i guess if a room is too far or too close you could regenerate it at a random spot until its not too far or too close

For the random inside of an area part: get the start and end of each vector value, and use math.Random(value1, value2) to get a value between the start and end points of the part

This is a really simple solution but there’s better ways if you’re doing this for a lot of parts

Alright

[fervent smelt]

is this the only way or are there more efficient ones? it should probably work but what if there's the chance it just regenerates a lot because its going on the same place for a lot of times

[vivid hearth]

at some point it will just generate at right spot and theres probably more efficient ways to do that but its a way

And you dont actually have to generate them you can just take the position the room is gonna generate at and already check

[fervent smelt]

this doesn't quite work
