I would like to run a script at random times during a game. Can this be done?
Also, is there a way to move an object to the player's location, but not into his inventory?
Any advice would be welcome.

Not sure about the random number, but to move an object to the players location you can use
Move [object] [ object] to [expression] [player.parent] this will move the object to the players location. Just replace word object with your own object, the second object I mean. Have fun. Terry

You can add a turnscript. This script is called after every input and you can call the random function there to check if the script should be executed or not.

Many thanks, Terry. Works perfectly! By the way, did you manage to fit the jewel into the socket?

Thanks also to you, Pertex, for your reply. Forgive my ignorance - I'm new to Quest - but I can't seem to find the random function. Am I missing something right in front of my eyes?!

Crikey I forgot all about it! Nearly finished Dark Mirrors so will get back to it. Yes I did fit the jewel thanks. Terry

no problem. Choose "set a variable or attribute" in the script adder in the gui. Then you can choose random number in the combobox

set variable [testvar] = [random number] between ....

Many thanks, Pertex. All well now!
