  int m=0;


        do
        {
            if((Timer1.asSeconds()>= 1))
            {


                clock1.restart();

                class random randoms;
                enemy1.rect.setPosition(randoms.random_function(1000),
                                        randoms.random_function(800));

                enemyArray.push_back(enemy1);


            }
            m++;

        }

Either change int m=0; to int m=1; or while(m<=5); to while(m<5);
Also, you don't need the class when you're instantiating an object.

First to declaration:I'm a newbie and I don't know what your function is.
But, in your case.I reckon it is your if series caused the problem.
Try to instead of this below:ps.apologize to my poor English..
int m = 0;
do{
if(Timer1.asSeconds()>=1){
clock1.restart();
class random randoms;
enemy1.rect.setPositon(randoms.random_function (1000),
randoms.random_function(800));
enemyArray.push_back(enemy1);

m++;//this is the change
}
}while(m<5)//there I think you should reset the edge or you may circle 6loops

It's a matter of style but I find this way to do the same as other suggestions comfortable. Depends also on the sequence of operations but that's another thing that may/may not be relevant.

int m = 0;

while ( m < 5 )
{
    if((Timer1.asSeconds()>= 1))
    {
        clock1.restart();
        class random randoms;
        enemy1.rect.setPosition( randoms.random_function(1000), randoms.random_function(800) );
        enemyArray.push_back(enemy1);
    }
    m++;
}

still outputing more than 5 is there a way to limit my vector or limit the number of pushbacks

By the sound of it the additional items are being added by other parts of your program outside the while loop.
