Basic collision help

Hi all,
I'm an experienced game designer but am new to gamesalad. As I get better I'll try to help out on the forum as much as I can, but right now I'm a bit of a noob so can anyone help me with my problem?
I have a corridor with two collision walls either side. I have an actor spawning with movement in a random direction and random speed. What I need the actor to do when it hits the wall is:
1. Pause for a random amount of time.
2. Rebound at a random angle and speed.
I've got the actor colliding with the wall and rebounding, but not with the above attributes.
Anyone?

Anyone got any ideas on this? I've just got back into gamesalad after doing a load of tutorials, but I'm still stuck on this one!
I have a new rule for when Actor receives event -> overlaps or collides (with the wall) -> Change Velocity to 0. Then, after a random timer finishes, set off again at random speed & direction. This works, but I don't know how to make the behaviour start again (without copying and pasting my behaviours in a massive list), so I guess my new question is how do you tell certain behaviours to loop?
