How can I make something have a random delay every time?

ascom

I have noticed that the random expression doesn't generate a random number every time. It seems to fill out all of the random expressions and doesn't regenerate a random number, even when it is called again. For example, this...

Changes the variable rand to the same value every time.

Could someone help? Or is it not possible?

It is possible to have a repeated random delay (assuming you mean repeated on a loop); here's a way I'd do it:

Make your integer attribute, let's call it RepRand. Make a boolean and call it Toggle.

Rule When Toggle is false
Change attribute Toggle to true
Change attribute RepRand to random(1,10) ---- or whatever your numbers are
Timer: (run to completion unchecked) After RepRand seconds
Change attribute Toggle to false

and to interrupt it with a touch:

Rule: When touch is pressed and Toggle = true
Change attribute Toggle to false

One problem could be not having run to completion checked. I don't know what game you are making but look at that, it might be the problem

Doesn't work.

Oh well. I think I know why. I'm just ditching the idea since it appears to be impossible..
