Random change

[Kusurovic]

Hello everyone,
I am a beginner and I am trying to make my second game for my neighbor little girl.

I made a little kitten who seeks from time to time something from the player: water, food, biscuit ball...etc - actually "cat speach" appear as balloons in comic books, showing the pictures of what pussy wants.

How do I make, that the picture that appear in balloons, every time be diferent - to be chosen at random way, among several diferent.

Thank you in advance.

Have a single Balloon object, and each thing it can want can be a different animation frame or different animation sequence.
When you display the balloon, you set the animation frame or sequence to Random(numberOfOptions).

Thank. Could you explain to me how to do that. I try but not succeed. I try in event editor to do: If Balloon visible than in "Special condtition" i chose randomize than "Retrive data from an object", than choose balloon object / Animation / Curent frame and get text "Image( "Active 3" )" - but not work.

No, don't use the Randomize action. I'll make an example of what I mean since I'm terrible at explaining things.
Here's an example:

Thanks for example. I try to do like you in your example but nor work.

I don't have button. I have 1 ballon with 4 diferent frames.
1. On startup ballon is not visible
2. Every 15 second cat sit and than balloon is visible for 5 second.

In event editor i set: every 15 sceond ballon is visible and "Force anomation frame Random(4)"

But to work - I see always same frame.

Where is my error, please help me.

I edit my previous post - i attached my example. I deleted cat animation frames and backgrounds because of file size.

It's work, I succeed. Thanks.

p.s
My speed im Direction options of Balloon was 50.
