This may sound dum, it probably is, but do I keep the min, max and put numbers with them, or do I delete min, max like I see in lots of tutorials and just put the numbers eg. 10,100
the min and max for the timer is the min and max for the time YOU want as the gap between spawns. So if you want it to spawn at gaps between 1 and 4 seconds you set it to random(1,4).
the random in the x pos is for how far along the x you want the spawned actors to appear. so you might want it something like random(32,460).
Do I need the fire attribute because I'm spawning pits and obstacles, I have an attribute called started and when the game starts it changes to true. There are 3 obstacles, a pit, a rock and a bird. Thanks heaps for your help, random is new to me.

so with actor 1-
create a self boolean attribute 'fire' (set it true when you like but to test it leave it true).
rule one when self attribute fire is true
timer random(min,max)
spawn (actor 2?) at position x random(min,max)
change attribute self fire to false
rule 2
when attribute self fire is false
timer after 0.1
change attribute self fire true
hope that helps
