How do I randomize how long a wait state waits?

[luck91]

Wait (X)

I want X to represent a random value within a parameter. For instance, I want to be able to set my random value to be in between 5 and 500 seconds so that the first time I loop through the Wait (X) that X might equal 121 and the next time it might equal 6 and so on with any valid Wait random value between 5 and 500. Can this be done? Syntax please :-)

While it can be done easily, I am not sure why you want a hard coded statement in your scripts... a sync statement or a loop which checks for the existence of an object would be better...
anyways here goes the syntax...

Code:

Dim X

X = Int(596 * rnd() + 5) ' This will generate an integer between 5 and 500

wait(X)
