How to Have a Random Time?

I'm making a sort of "Whack-a-Mole"-like game and I'm trying to have the moles disappear for a random time period (between 2 and 4 seconds). How do I do that? I know how to make the mole disappear but how do I make a random spawning time period?

    yeah I have that already but it still won't work. I also have a real attribute RandomTime to 1.
    Here's what I have:

    rule when all is pressed : touch
    interpolate alpha 0
    timer every 1 second(run to completion) set self.RandomTime(2,4)

    timer every 2 second
    if self.randomtime 2
    if self.randomtime 3
    if self.randomtime 4
    interpolate alpha 1

    You posted this in Help Wanted which is for PAID requests. I moved this to Working with GS. If you're using Windows, let me know and I'll put this thread in the PC sub-forum.

    Are you sure you tried my demo? It sounds like you're making things more complicated than they need to be. Here's the direct link to the post: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/comment/464547/#Comment_464547.
