Need some help with randomizing

[soopytwist]

I've got a simple active with the bouncing ball movement, it moves up and down.

I need it to stop at a random time and play an animation. When that animation is over it changes back to the previous animation and movement continues until it randomly stops again and so on.

It's the randomizing of the stopping I can't figure out.

You can do something like this

+Every (set a limit as to how often it can stop)
-> set Alterable Value to Random( [total number of chances] )

+if Alterable Value <= [number of chances]
+(negate) Animation is playing
->Play animation

+If animation is playing
+Current frame of active < [number of last frame of animation]
-> stop movement

+If animation is playing
+If current frame = [number of last frame of animation]
-> start movement


The first and second events handle the "Random" part. The third event handles the stopping, and the fourth event handles the resuming of movement.

Thanks DJT4NN3R, works a treat.
