Actor dropping random loot.

Crestwood

I have been collecting links and watching numerous videos in preparation of developing my first game. But, I can't seem to find one teaching what I am looking for. I am probably searching for it incorrectly, but figured I would ask.

I have an actor "alien" that will be destroyed. There are several different types of aliens that can spawn randomly. They all will have a chance for dropping random items. Be it coins, health, etc. The amount of coins or health is also a random number.

Any good reads or videos giving tips on how this can be done?

Thanks!!

Thanks again Tshirtbooth!!

I am slowly learning the "logic" behind this game design stuff. I think at times I can over complicate things.
