is it possible to give an item like the grenade a random spawn time?
like could i put

random(60)

and it would spawn it within 60 seconds or less? or am i thinking the impossible...

i dont think there is a way to make it random you could get like 5 and spawn them in the same place over and over but with different spawn times like 33,5,7,1,4,12 that way they would spawn random kinda

But wouldn't they spawn on top of eachother and overlap?

im spawning meteors, so as soon as they spawn they just fly down and blow up anyways, im just trying to make them fall at random intervals... or else you could pretty much count when they are going to blow up, and where at...

ive also got the pelican flying by too, id like to do that at random intervals also, but i guess i cant...

You could just do the whole Meteor thing, have like, 20 thigns shooting down, but put a slight spread on the projectile maybe? So it wont shoot exactly in the same spot each time! (If that'l work)

nope, it wont... because i have it set so that it spawns items right, then i switched the item it spawned from an equip into a projectile... so theres nothing i can do about the spread... at least that i know of...
