Random Timer JS script.

I don't know how to do it, it doesn't work. I don't know if the numbers can be less than 1000 ms.
It worked with random number generation but I don't want it.

in eval for timer there should be 'random_item(items)' - that one will return integer value that can be used as duration

[kerkersklave]

So what you want to do, is randomly select one of the durations in items for the timer?
The eval-expression has to return a value in milliseconds, not a list of values, so you have to select the element yourself. Selecting an element randomly with equal distribution can be done like this:

Code: Select all

items[Math.floor(Math.random() * items.length)]

Math.random() returns a number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive) equally distributed. Math.floor() rounds down to the next integer.

The image looks like you have just 'items' as the eval for the Timer? It seems you should be using random_item(items) instead - to actually call the function you've just created.

Although that relies on my non-eos-specific understanding of scopes, but ..

fully functional:
