Bam!

This version spawns a random object at the object switchlinked to when frobbed.

class spawnRandom extends SqRootScript {
   function OnFrobWorldEnd() {
      local items = ["Mug", "Cigarettes", "Chips", "Basketball", "Soda Can"];
      local item = items[floor(Data.RandFlt0to1() * items.len())];
      local dest = sLink(Link.GetOne("SwitchLink", self)).dest;
      if (dest) {
         local obj = Object.BeginCreate(item);
         Object.Teleport(obj, Object.Position(dest), Object.Facing(dest));
         Physics.SetVelocity(obj, vector(Data.RandFlt0to1() * 6 - 3, Data.RandFlt0to1() * 6 - 3, 0));
         Object.EndCreate(obj);
      }
   }
}

This version is placed directly on the object that will be spawning random objects and responds to TurnOn signals.

class spawnRandom extends SqRootScript {
   function OnTurnOn() {
      local items = ["Mug", "Cigarettes", "Chips", "Basketball", "Soda Can"];
      local item = items[floor(Data.RandFlt0to1() * items.len())];
      local obj = Object.BeginCreate(item);
      Object.Teleport(obj, Object.Position(self), Object.Facing(self));
      Physics.SetVelocity(obj, vector(Data.RandFlt0to1() * 6 - 3, Data.RandFlt0to1() * 6 - 3, 0));
      Object.EndCreate(obj);
   }
}

add an always spawning SpawnSFX, an Once flag, and in it goes - the idea is to spawn one random item and then stop working, as we don't want to provide the player with an endless stream of recyclable items. or do we?
