Random

Category: Listener Tier: Basic

Purpose

Triggers randomly based on a probability percentage, useful for creating unpredictable behaviors and variations.

Visual Reference

As added to your scene

When To Use

• Enemy AI variation (50% chance to attack, 50% to defend)

• Loot drops (20% chance to drop rare item)

• Environmental effects (10% chance for lightning each second)

• NPC dialogue (random conversation starters)

• Spawn systems (random enemy types)

• Particle variations (random colors, sizes, directions)

• Idle animations (occasional fidget movements)

Runtime Behavior

Triggers: Each tick, generates a random number and triggers if it falls within the chance threshold

Properties

Property	Type	Default	Notes
chance	float, 50.0		Probability of triggering (0-100%) each tick
seed	int, 0		Random seed for reproducibility (0 = use system random)
min_interval	int, 1		Minimum ticks between triggers (prevents rapid spam)
max_interval	int, 0		Maximum ticks between triggers (0 = no limit, ensures trigger eventually)

Example Use Cases

Random Enemy Behavior:

Sample inspector layout removed for compatibility.

Rare Loot Drop:

Property(enemy_dead, Equal, true) -> AND -> Random(20%) -> Scene(spawn_rare_item)
// 20% chance to drop rare item on death

Occasional Lightning:

Delay(60, repeat=true) -> AND -> Random(10%) -> Sound(thunder) + Material(flash)
// Every second, 10% chance for lightning

Random Idle Animation:

Delay(120, repeat=true) -> AND -> Random(30%) -> Animation(fidget)
// Every 2 seconds, 30% chance to play fidget animation
