Help with random spawning

I thought this would be easy but I'm really struggling!
I want an actor to appear repeatedly after a random amount of time which varies between 1 and 7 seconds. The actor only appears for about half a second and is then destroyed. Everything I try just keeps making the actor appear after the same amount of seconds and I can't get the random amount of time to update properly.
Thanks in advance.

In the timer when you enter a random time, it will generate a random value when the game starts and use that same value throughout, so if Every random (10,100) chooses 78, it will stick with Every 78 seconds throughout the game.
You can do it like this.
Make a game.attribute, let's call it X.
In the spawner:
Change X to random (10,100)
Timer: After X seconds
- - Spawn the actor you want to spawn
- - Spawn the Spawner
- - Destroy

That makes total sense and explains why my random timer was not changing, thank you very much
It seems obvious now but sometimes I just hit a brick wall!
