phaser Random & Infinite sprite generation

[AramCP]

Hi guys today i started making a game and i got a problem. I want to make a game where you move to the left and to the right and items are falling from the sky, the thing is i can make one item fall in a random position, thats easy:

var randomx;

randomx = Math.random()*256;

dollars = game.add.sprite(randomx, -18, 'dollar');

Then i set a velocity and it starts to fall, the problem comes when i want to make fall more than one sprite. I thought about something like this:

var randomy;

randomy = Math.random()*300;

And in update function:

if(dollars.position.y = randomy){

game.add.sprite(randomx, -18, 'dollar');

}

With that i wanted to make a dollar fall, and when that dollar reaches a random point in the Y cordinate, another dollar will start falling, but it doesnt work, could you help me please?

ofc, here is the entire code:

var game = new Phaser.Game(256, 392, Phaser.AUTO, 'game', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update });

var player;
var cursors;
var dollars;

var randomx;
var randomy;

function preload() {
	game.load.image('background', 'assets/background.png');
	game.load.spritesheet('minisprite', 'assets/spritesheet.png', 48, 72);
	game.load.image('dollar', 'assets/dollar.png');
	game.load.image('scorebar', 'assets/score.png');
}


function create() {
	game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);
	game.add.sprite(0, 0, 'background');
	game.add.sprite(0, 352, 'scorebar');

	randomx = Math.random()*256;
	randomy = Math.random()*300

	player = game.add.sprite(100, 248, 'minisprite');
	game.physics.arcade.enable(player);

	dollars = game.add.sprite(randomx, -18, 'dollar');
	game.physics.arcade.enable(dollars);

	player.body.collideWorldBounds=true;

	cursors = game.input.keyboard.createCursorKeys();

	player.frame = 3;
	player.animations.add('left', [0, 1, 2, 1], 6, true);
    player.animations.add('right', [6, 5, 4, 5], 6, true);

}


function update() {

	player.body.velocity.x = 0;
	dollars.body.velocity.y = 60;

	if (cursors.left.isDown){
        player.body.velocity.x = -60;
        player.animations.play('left');
		return;
    	}

	if (cursors.right.isDown){
        player.body.velocity.x = 60;
        player.animations.play('right');
		return;
    	}
    else {
        player.animations.stop();
        player.frame = 3;
    }
}

Hmm I see. I would do something like this: 

You should call this function in your create function.

function DollarCheck () {

   var randomx = (...)
   var randomy = (...)

   var dollar = game.add.sprite(randomx,-18,"dollars");

   if(dollar.position.y >= randomy) {
      dollar.kill(); // if you want to kill the dollar
      DollarCheck();
   }

}

This way at the start of your game a dollar will be created (don't forget to apply gravity or velocity or whatever). When the dollar goes past the randomy  the function runs again. If you want the randomy and the randomx to always be the same random just put make them global like you did
