How do I solve this for each action?

Yet another "for each" question, i guess it's pretty simple for a normal person, but i'm somewhat retarded

I got 10 wolves in the map

Condition:

Every choose(5,10,15) seconds

Wolf stamina > 10

Action:

Wolf do this blabla

My question is this: if i dont use "for each" the game picks the SAME of 5/10/15 seconds from the "every X seconds" for ALL the wolves that respond to the criteria (> 10 stamina), right? But if i put "For each wolf" before it, will it actually pick randomly one of the 3 seconds number for every wolf every time?

Every (int(random(0,3))*5) seconds

wolf stamina >10

This could work, otherwise you need to do a bunch more code for it, which I can write, but may not be worth the coding for a similar result

what's the difference between int and round? and what is supposed to do the line you proposed? give a real random number or else? Thanks

I believe it was fixed awhile ago, so that every X with choose or random will proc again the next time it triggers so it re-picks a new X. It used to be always the same X and it repeats itself as I recall I had a similar issue about 6 months ago.

Looks like it isn't, i've tested now, and when i use for each before the x seconds, only 1 instance performs the action!

Then you need to add a Pick All Instance of Wolf, then narrow it with Wolf Stamina < 10

ie.

Every 5,10,15 seconds

Pick All Wolf

Wolf Stamina < 10

DO ZZZZ

If that don't work (it should), then for sure this will work:

Every 5,10,15 seconds

* Pick All Wolf

* Wolf Stamina < 10

Do ZZZZ.

* = sub-event.

Managed to solve it by adding an instance variable to the object, so each object has its own internal timer:

[attachment=0:391w8zf9][/attachment:391w8zf9]

"wolfTimer" goes from 0 to 10 randomly, and when it reaches 10 is does the action (used opacity just to test) and sets the timer back to 0

The speed 10*dt, would make it the same as "once every 1 second". Making it random will average to once every 2 seconds
