Initialise an emitted object with random values

I am making a simple clicker game, based off the example provided. When a box is clicked I would like it to explode, sending 5 fragments flying.

Here is the Behaviour of the Box object.

When clicked the box is destroyed, and a Repeater creates 5 fragments each of which is given a Random angle of ejection.

This all works well.

However I’d like each fragment to start with a random Rotation.

If I add Once > Random > Rotation to the shard object, then this literally only triggers once. So the very first fragment gets a random orientation, but all subsequent fragments are identical, with a rotation of 0.

How can I set a random rotation to every Shard object at the moment it is spawned?

Thanks.

I’m not sure what your problem could be. If you link to the game I could check it out; I tried doing the same thing here and it works fine

Thanks so much for checking my logic.

I am not sure what was wrong, but I closed my browser and came back to the project this afternoon, and the random rotation is working!

If you use another random value in the “emit” input, you can use the extractor behavior set to “starting value” to grab that value in the emitted object.
