GML How to save random variables?

[dovenfrosken]

Hello, I have a problem- I need to save random variable, but functions like choose(); update variable every half of second, but I want the randomization of the randomwalk to stop when the character is walking.

//step event
if (patrol){
randomwalk = choose(-1, 1); //random variable
if (walking > 0){ //if walk
walking -= 1; //timer expires
movespeed = 0.4;
dir = randomwalk; //random dir
}
else{
if (staydelay > 0){ //if stay
staydelay -= 1; //timer expires
movespeed = 0; //stay
}
else{ //refill cooldowns
staydelay = staydelaymax;
walking = walkingmax;
}
}
}

Please use [code ] blocks to make your code more readable.

You just need make sure it only checks when you want it to. Depending on the rest of your code, you may have to do something different than what I did, but something similar to this should work.

//step event
if (patrol){
    if (walking > 0){ //if walk
        walking -= 1; //timer expires
        movespeed = 0.4;
        dir = randomwalk; //random dir
    else {
        randomwalk = choose(-1, 1); //random variable}
    }
else{
if (staydelay > 0){ //if stay
    staydelay -= 1; //timer expires
    movespeed = 0; //stay
        }
        else{ //refill cooldowns
        staydelay = staydelaymax;
        walking = walkingmax;
        }
    }
}
