Random intervals?

_Ghost_

I'm trying to set up random intervals for changing a scene.

The following is what I'm trying to set up:

When button "play again" is pressed either 5-10 times randomly, scene changes to scene "main menu."

So far the way I have it set up is:

Created an index attribute called "PlayCounter."

-- when touch is pressed, change attribute "game.PlayCounter" to "game.PlayCounter" +1.

-- when attribute "game.PlayCounter" = 5; change scene to "main menu"

Obviously this just triggers the change in scene only once (after clicking the "play again" button 5 times) and after that, it doesn't restart and continue.

What I want to do is set up a random interval where the scene changes after pressing the "play again" button any random number of times between 5-10; and I'd like to it to do all the time. After the scene has already changed, I want to be able to go back to the scene where the "play again" button is and I want the interval to start over again, after every scene change.

How can I set up this interval? Let me know if what I'm trying to do, makes sense.

You need an integer attribute called game.playCounterMax that you set to random(5,10) at the start of the scene. You also need to change game.PlayCounter to 0 when the scene starts. Then check for When attribute game.PlayCounter = game.playCounterMax to change the scene.

Hi tatiang,

Thank you for your advice. I actually got it to work in a different way though.

I simply set game.PlayCounter = random(5,10) and when changing scene set game.PlayCounter = 0

This seems to have created the random interval of 5-10 by setting the attribute game.PlayCounter's value to 0 at the start of the scene.

Thank you for your help
