Subtracting a counter between 2 global values

[byro210]

In my game theres 2 Global Values - "Min Attack Damage" and "Max Attack Damage" - they can be changed by changing the weapons i have in my game how can i make so every 5 seconds the counter in the monster battle frame subtracts between "Min Attack Damage" and "Max Attack Damage"

So The Monster Health Counter is 5000
My min attack is 0 and max attack is 500 originally how can i make it so the counter loses between 0 and 500 every 5 seconds not just write "Random(500)" since the "Min Attack Damage" and "Max Attack Damage are always changing?


Help would be much appreciated

In MMF2 it should be something like: <Every 5 seconds> [Subtract from counter:] MinAtkDmg + Random(1 + MaxAtkDmg - MinAtkDmg )

So if the lower was 10 and the upper was 50 this would equate to 10+Random(41), which is a random number between 10 and 50 (inclusive). This is equivalent to the Fusion 2.5 function RRandom(MinAtkDmg,MaxAtkDmg)

This would make it an equal chance between the min and the max. If you wanted it to be weighted so there was an uneven distribution you'd need a different expression.
