Random spawn timer

Questions & Answers

I have a script, which spawns a random amount of gameobjects, at a random place on the screen, at a specific time, I would like this time to be random, so that the objects spawn at a random time, like if it was a random time between (1,5) but I can’t seem to figure out how to implement it in to my script, I know it has something to do with random.range, as I have used at another place in the script, but I dont know how to implement it for the timer.

My Script so far.

var Mines : Transform;

private var Timer : float;

function Awake () {
	Timer = Time.time + 4;
}

function Update () {
	
	var randNum = Random.Range(0, 3); // this will return a number between 0 and 9 
 
 	if (Timer < Time.time) {
 	
		for (var i = 0; i < randNum; i++){
		var screenPosition : Vector3 = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Random.Range(0,Screen.width), Random.Range(0,Screen.height), Camera.main.farClipPlane/2));
  		Instantiate(Mines, screenPosition, Quaternion.identity); 

		Timer = Time.time + 4;
		Debug.Log("Spawned Mines");
		
		}
	}
}

You just needs to add a random value to Time.time to set your Timer variable as below:

function Awake () {
	// Add a random value of time to the Timer instead of a fixed value of 4
	Timer = Time.time + Random.Range(1,6);
}

function Update () {
 
	var randNum = Random.Range(0, 3); // this will return a number between 0 and 9 

	if (Timer < Time.time) {
	  
		for (var i = 0; i < randNum; i++)
		{
			var screenPosition : Vector3 = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Random.Range(0,Screen.width), Random.Range(0,Screen.height), Camera.main.farClipPlane/2));
			Instantiate(Mines, screenPosition, Quaternion.identity); 
		}
		
		// Add a random value of time to the Timer instead of a fixed value of 4
		Timer = Time.time + Random.Range(1,6);
		Debug.Log("Spawned Mines");
	}
}
