Timer won't work with Random/Changing numbers?

I want to have a timer where every

Random(Time,Time/score):
*Action*

But this glitches and the attribute changed rises extremely fast. Note that score is default 1 so it is not dividing by 0.

I am quite confused to why this is happening and it is quite annoy as well.

    You could make a new attribute and give it the value time/score

    Let's call it 'tiscore' ;)

    Then in your random expression, use random(time,tiscore)

    See if that works!

    QS :D

    No, same error occurs. It spawns MASSIVE amounts of my actor, makes my macbook lag xD. I just can't seem to find a way around this problem. :S

    1) Using random in the Timer behavior works only for the first time to set the rate.
    Details here: http://gamesalad.com/wiki/how_tos:gsc_variable_timer_speed

    2) the random function picks an integer(whole number) between the first number and the second number with the first number being the smaller number.

    Thanks a bunch Cmonkey! This will really help me in my development in my game. Do you think automatic updating of the variable in the timer, will be implemented in the future?
