Create random objects

[Captain_Harris]

how can i create a random object with the timer ?

for example:
i have four objects ( trees )
i want create every 2 second a random tree

You can have a counter object that creates a tree depending on its value. For example:

Every 2 seconds set TreeCounter to Random(5)
If TreeCounter = 1 then create Tree1
If TreeCounter = 2 then create Tree2
etc.
If TreeCounter > 0 set TreeCounter to 0

Random(5) will pick a number 0 through 4 randomly, and the next events are possible outcomes. The last event is to end the tree creation.

Ah .... Ok. Thank You

There is one problem. the counter creates trees all 2 seconds only, when he's not on 0. so always if the counter has the value 0, he doesn't create a tree.

That's because the example above will pick 1 random # from a range of 5 but this includes 0. That is 0,1,2,3, or 4.

So if you want a # from 1 to 5, you'd have to change Random(5) to Random (5)+1.

It's kind of weird but you get used to it.

That works perfect Thanks
