How to code random play of sprite animation [Solved]

[subspark]

Hey folks. I'm trying to create a repeating random timer that runs the following code anywhere between 45 to 70 seconds each time.

Code: ags

oIdol.SetView(IDOL_SPARKLE, 0, 0);
oIdol.Animate(0, 1, eOnce, eNoBlock);

I must admit I'm a little clueless on how to approach this.

Cheers,
Sparky.

To get a random value between two values, use, e.g.:

Code: ags

Random(10)+10;

This will return a value between 10 and 20.

Thanks, I already know that. However I have no clue how to incorporate a timer into this which activates the animation of my sprite. I've explained it better above.

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute(){
 if(IsTimerExpired(10)==1 && oIdol.Animating==false){
   oIdol.SetView(IDOL_SPARKLE, 0, 0);
   oIdol.Animate(0, 1, eOnce, eNoBlock);
   SetTimer(10,0);
 }
 if(IsTimerExpired(10)==0 && oIdol.Animating==false)SetTimer(10,Random(25)+45);
}

This should suffice:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() {
  if (IsTimerExpired(10)) {
    oIdol.SetView(IDOL_SPARKLE, 0, 0);
    oIdol.Animate(0, 1, eOnce, eNoBlock);
    SetTimer(10,Random(25)+45)
  }
}

To start the sequence, set the timer in after_fadein.
