Random help

[un1k]

Hi there, I am having trouble with the Random in Director, I am trying to play at a random time, a sound. Here's my code.


on startMovie
global startTicks
set startTicks = the ticks
end startMovie

on idle
global startTicks
set ticksElapsed = the ticks - startTicks
if (ticksElapsed > 3*100) then
randomAnimation
end if
end idle

on randomAnimation

puppetsound 8,"Police Radio Chatter 0"&random

end


****
I have 8 sound call "Police Radio Chatter 01" to 08


Any help would be very appreciated, thank you.

Are u trying to play a sound at a random time?
From what i've seen, your script only plays at a fixed interval.
Here's a script that i think may help:

------------------------------------
global soundList
global myTimer

on startMovie
soundList = ["1","2","3"]
randomAnimation
end
on prepareFrame
if the timer > myTimer then
the timer = 0
randomAnimation
end if
end
on randomAnimation
myTimer = random(100) + 100
soundToPlay = soundList[random(soundList.count)]
puppetsound 8,"Police Radio Chatter 0"&soundToPlay
end
------------------------------------
