Hi Agian!,

Is it possible to randomize just one wait time in a script between x & x amount of seconds?.

Yes. Use Random, and Wait. This will wait anywhere between 1 and 10 seconds.

Random>10,MyResult
Let>MyResult=MyResult+1
MessageModal>I will now wait for %MyResult% Seconds
Wait>%MyResult%
MessageModal>Well that was fun. :)


If you wanted it to wait anywhere from 0-1 seconds (in tenths) you could simply divide the result by 10.

Random>10,MyResult
Let>MyResult=MyResult+1
Let>MyResult=MyResult/10
MessageModal>I will now wait for %MyResult% Seconds
Wait>%MyResult%
MessageModal>Well that was fun. :)

Thanks Dorian!,

I will run a test script when I get time the weekend. As always I'm very grateful for your expertise!.
