Made this moving platform example ages ago. Can't remember how it works, but it may help.

RRandom( - 1, 0 ) would be a 50/50 chance. The result would give either -1 or 0. If it was RRandom( - 1, 1 ), then yes. It would be a 1 in 3 chance: -1,0,1.

Windlakes solution is definitely...

You could try setting the variable to something like this: RRandom( - 1, 0 )

Then, if necessary, set the variable to 1 if its random value = 0.

If there is, I don't know it. Although I'd guess a work-around would be to re-position your actives to the bottom area of the map when the actives get close to the top.

Love this. Especially the non-overlapping enemy movement. Will probably replace my old-enemy movement in a Gauntlet game I was making with that.
