Occasional character appearance

Fal01

Hi all,

I have 8 bonus characters that I want to appear randomly throughout my game (there are 18 scenes)in a random order and not necessarily every time you play it, and if you click on them for the brief time they are on screen you would get a bonus.

What would be the best way to do this?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

I think I'd use two random number selections to make this happen. First on each scene pick a random number say between 1 and 10 (this would give you a 10% chance of one of the characters showing up at all) then if 1 is picked, pick another random number between 1 and 8 to choose which character it is that shows up.

Like:

change attribute pickCharacter (random(1,10)

Rule:

if pickCharacter = 1

change attribute pickBonus (random(1,8)

if pickBonus =1 then show bonus character one

if pickBonus =2 then show bonus character two

if pickBonus =3 then show bonus character three

etc...
