TF_RandomNumberGenerator v1.0.0

About this plugin
This plugin creates a random number and stores it into a in-game variable.
You can also call the wait command to use variables (like a random one).
 
So you can combine both functions to let birds sing at random intervals.
 
You get a random number based on min-max values, remember min and max values are included that means that a random value between 5 and 10 can be:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10.

How to Use
Use as plugin commands in events:

TF_RandomNumber x y zx = min, y = max, z = variable id to store the random number example: TF_RandomNumber 5 10 2
this stores a random number between 5 and 10 (example: 7) in variable id 2 you then can access the variable with the escape sequence: \V[2]
 
 

TF_Wait variable_idJust replace variable_id with variable number, example: TF_Wait 2
ececutes the wait command for variables's value in frames.
