  Thanks.

  On some similar loops related subject, you might have a tip for this as well.

  I have 12 Sprite instances, trying to pick randomly one by one without repartition, and change its animation. (I wanted to do that with time gaps of 1 seconds).

  I tried using a while loop with a flag, but ended up calling 2 functions. For a programmer, this seems a little bit overkill for a simple thing.

  Is that the way this works, or am I doing something wrong and I need to learn some more of this stuff before proceeding?

  Thank you very much for the quick reply.

  I was able to do it using your method, but just wanted to be clear on something. Do you mean that any object will act as my general timer?

  I mean, I used a sprite to be my timer, but I didn't really use any of its "sprite" characteristics.

  Thanks

  I am new here, and have made my best to search the forums for answers.

  I am trying to have a loop of X times, which does some action, and between actions I want a 1 second delay.

  I understand that this will not work with the "wait" command, and it has been suggested to use the "every X" command.

  But I am looking to limit the repartition somehow, and not to do the action indefinitely every 1 second.

  Any suggestion?

  Thank you very much.
