How can I make a random event?

So I'm wanting to make a platform game where if you hit the enemy it says one of a few different phrases at random. I have the event where the enemy goes down, and I can handle sound samples, but how can I get it to play only one sound clip at random?

You could randomize a value and when the value becomes a certain number you play the sound you want. Ex:

- <the hit condition that you normally use here>
+ Set Alterable Value A ("Active") to Random(100)

- Alterable Value A ("Active") = 1
+ Play sample "Hit 1.wav"
+ Set Alterable Value A ("Active") to 0

- Alterable Value A ("Active") = 2
+ Play sample "Hit 2.wav"
+ Set Alterable Value A ("Active") to 0

The Active object can be the enemy or just a separate object that you can use to handle playing sound effects.

So I followed your example, although whenever the action is triggered, all of the sounds play at once. Is there a way to fix this?

Add: limit conditions>only one action when event loops

Yeah, what Volnaiskra said.

It's rather hard to tell what is going wrong without seeing the .mfa but a random guess is that your event that randomizes the value runs more than once.

Thank you guys! This will help me make my game closer to the original vision.
