Hello,

Can somebody tell me how to make RANDOM counter on WB? I tried with Random Seconds Timer and Random Frame Timer but it doesn't work.

*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
Set timer 'Random7' to expire between 0 and 2 frames.

*** IF ***
Counter 'Random7' IS Equal To 1
*** THEN ***
Set Flag named 'GiveADropItem' to TRUE

True.
*** THEN ***
Set timer 'Random7' to expire between 0 and 2 seconds.

*** IF ***
Counter 'Random7' IS Equal To 1
*** THEN ***
Set Flag named 'GiveADropItem' to TRUE

timers set counters to 1 or 2, maybe 0, so chance is 1/3, but i tried 20 times the scripts in the game, but they doesn't work.

maybe other script can make random counter?

i meant the ifs and also the conditions like run script every frame and deactivate upon success are what they need to be
also is it skirmish or mission

Does the activation script activate a subroutine script or a normal script

I tested frame timer on a simple map:

*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
Set timer 'timer' to expire between 1 and 2 frames.

*** IF ***
Timer 'timer' has expired.
*AND* Counter 'timer' IS Equal To 2
*** THEN ***
Team 'team0001' is dealt a lethal amount of damage.

No effect. it work only if i set "Equal to 1". i think it cant give a random counter......

Anyway, if it's being activated by another script, maybe that script's not working right. If it is, then I don't know why it's not doing anything.

Any old friends still on here can add me on discord @jcdenton2187. I'm far more likely to respond there.

No lags, if a lot of scripts with every frame-check only.

So no more ideas with random counter?

I made a simple AOD map to show how you can use Random.

Randomly, Overlords (as team3) or Comanches (as team2) or Quad Cannons (as team1) are spawn and attack in Attack_Area.

AOD Random_v_02.zip has 2 players and AI must be GLA.
SetStartTime script sets a time to define when RandomTime will assign.
SetRandomTimer Script sets RandomTime to expire between 1 and 3 frames,
According to RandomTime value Random1 or Random2 or Random3 scrips run.

I tried 10 times and all worked.

You will understand when you open map with WorldBuilder and read scripts.

I hope I could help 😉 AOD Random_v_02.zip (4kb) downloaded 17 time(s).
