How to ask one random turtle to have specific variable instead of sharing with all turtles?

Question

I want to provide each turtle each different variable like different x and y (turtles-own). For example, I plan to give each turtle to run different circle base on their location. But when I use the command "ask turtles", all of the turtles tend to share the same variables and only run one circle.

I agree with Yadel, look on the S-drive and there should be a template on how to code a breed. If you cannot find it let me know and I can send you the code example over this!

There's also a "Breeds and Shapes" example under File -> Models Library -> Code Examples

Answer 1

you should probably set a breed for it and then you can create all your other turtles at a random location however you can create make any turtles in this breed appear at a set point.
you can also use the random command to set the turtles locations and then you can make a circle

This works. Thank you

Answer 2

Perhaps something like this?

to setup
    cro 20
    ask turtles [
        forward 0.1
        right who     ;; who refers the the turtle's ID # (0, 1, 2, ...)
    ]
 end

Alternatively, you can give each turtle a property (turtles-own variable), and give it a random value, so each turtle behaves differently. Something like this:

turtles-own [ turning-angle ]

to setup
    cro 20 [
        set turning-angle random 30
    ]
 end

to go  
   ask turtles [
      forward 0.1
      right turning-angle
   ]
end
