creating an object at a random position

[Jason]

This question has probably already been asked before but I could not find it with the search forum feature. I want to create an object placed at a random y position. I have tried creating the object and then setting it's y position but that doesn't work. How do I do this?

You do exactly as you said.
Create the object, then set its Y position to random(n) where n is the maximim number you want.
If it doesnt work then it would mean that the order of your events are wrong. I have done this plenty of times before and it works fine

make sure the create is before setting x/y and make sure all three are one one event and not on different ones.
