I have a game with like 7 computer players. I am trying to do something where when the player hits start. Each computer drops after a random time between 0 and say 1.5 seconds. So I make a rule saying when start is pressed, After "random (0,1.5)" actordrop. However, the actor seems to drop after 1.5 seconds everytime, not a random time between 0 and 1.5 seconds. Any Ideas?

    You should put every - seconds in the timer not after

    It still goes doesn't do anything until it reaches the max time. Its not random

    Timers don't work with random yet unfortunately. there could be another way to set an attribute that picks a random number and based on that number you can set a bunch of different delay timers for your cpu actions

    You have to restart that Timer behavior to get a new value for it.
