How do I prevent unwanted triggering of event?

Hello everybody!

This is my pseudo code:

system every int(random(1,3)) seconds > set position to int(random(0,2))

• position = 0 > create object from family at some coordinates
• position = 1 > create object from family at some coordinates
• position = 2 > create object from family at some coordinates

It all works great except on start of layout it is all triggered at once and 3 objects are created instead of only one. Afterwards it works as intended.

Can someone help? What am I missing?

Thank you!

Anyone?

I can not confirm, works well for me.

With this code I have an other problem, its nearly impossible that position is 2!

I need to do set position to int(random(0,3)), because if not:

0 - 0,999999 is 0

1 - 1,9999999 is 1

2 - 2 is 2

Or is this intended?

You have already added some to layout in editor?

Seems to be the only possibility...

Or thats not all code.

Thanks, I'll try and let you know if it works.

This is only a small portion of code, the part that doesn't work as planned.

As I said, it works great except it creates 3 objects the first time.

If you only want to generate four random numbers you could also use the choose expression. It's exactly like random.

Example:

choose(0,1,2,3)

Nice, I didn't know that. I'll definitely try it.

I still can't figure it out.

I created the example so you can see the problem: dropbox.com/s/wxf921vulxlgw1k/example.capx

Those are the three objects you have in the layout. You should destroy them 'On start of layout', or put them in a separate Misc layout.

YES!

Thanks a lot!

Hmmm... Yes you did. Sorry, I didn't understand it correctly
