Timer won't work with Random/Changing numbers?

cwbh10

I want to have a timer where every

Random(Time,Time/score):
*Action*

But this glitches and the attribute changed rises extremely fast. Note that score is default 1 so it is not dividing by 0.

I am quite confused to why this is happening and it is quite annoy as well.

You could make a new attribute and give it the value time/score

Let's call it 'tiscore'

Then in your random expression, use random(time,tiscore)

See if that works!

No, same error occurs. It spawns MASSIVE amounts of my actor, makes my macbook lag xD. I just can't seem to find a way around this problem. :S

Thanks anyways QuantumSheep!

1) Using random in the Timer behavior works only for the first time to set the rate.

2) the random function picks an integer(whole number) between the first number and the second number with the first number being the smaller number.

Thanks a bunch Cmonkey! This will really help me in my development in my game. Do you think automatic updating of the variable in the timer, will be implemented in the future?
