So placed flower tiles around the map right. The “for element (value) of array of tiles [Flower Block]” is representing every single flower block. Then I create the number of enemies that are the amount of flower blocks. Ex: 4 enemies for 4 flower tiles. Then, I place each and every enemy on its own flower block. Then to remove the flower block, I do “set [Grass Block] on top of (value(the flower blocks))”.
