What language are you using ? JS ? C# ?

You want to make a function that will randomly set the transform of your object every N seconds (N being a number you choose)

To call the random function every N seconds, you can use InvokeRepeating in the Start function.

To set a random value to your transform, as you can’t directly modify its value, your need to use a temporary Vector3 and a function that returns random values

Exemple (C#):

Vector3 temp = new Vector3(Random.range(-10.6f,10.6f),Random.range(-10.6f,10.6f),Random.range(-10.6f,10.6f));
transform.position = temp;

Which makes full code (C#, N=1, code is to be placed on the gameobject that you wanna move randomly):

void Start () {
   InvokeRepeating("SetRandomPos",0,1);
}

void SetRandomPos() {
   Vector3 temp = new Vector3(Random.range(-10.6f,10.6f),Random.range(-10.6f,10.6f),Random.range(-10.6f,10.6f));
   transform.position = temp;
}
