Timer help

how do i set timer to spawn an actor at random times between 1 and 10 seconds

i tried the Random(min,max) replaced min with 1 and max with 10 doesn't seem to work?

Hi @Adamgopro a limitation of the Timer Behaviour is that it can't be updated, in other words it'll just use the first value its given.

A workaround is to set up a loop, to re-trigger the value as different every time.

One way would be as follows:

Rule: When SpawnCycle is false
Change Attribute Random to Random(1,10)
Timer: After Random seconds
Spawn
Change Attribute SpawnCycle to true

-------

Rule: When SpawnCycle is true
Change Attribute SpawnCycle to false

@gyroscope thanks a lot mate!

You're welcome! :-)

PS One thing I didn't make clear (which you probably sussed anyway) is to make sure that the line: "Change Attribute SpawnCycle to true" is in the Timer behaviour along with the Spawn behaviour.
