How to chnage value of timer peform delay using math random

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

How can you chnage the time of timer perofm delay by using math random since it only uses math random once then keeps using the same on

#2

This should work fine…

timer.performWithDelay(math.random(a, b), myListener, iterations)
#3

Hi it choose a random number and then stays the same, How can it chnage the value everytime

#4

Yes, the time is random every time this function is called.

It sounds like you want to call a listener at random intervals?  If that is the case, I would do something like this:

local function listener() -- do something here -- reset timer.performWithDelay(math.random(a,b), listener, 1) end timer.performWithDelay(math.random(a,b), listener, 1)

Am I understanding what you are trying to do?
