Problem with random interval

[phern]

Hi there.
I am trying to do a script that every random ammount of time (3 to 4 secs) repeats some effect.
I've found something like that:

l

ocal config = {
positions = {
["1"] = { x = 1074, y = 1059, z = 8 },


},


}


function onThink(cid, interval, lastExecution)
for text, pos in pairs(config.positions) do
doSendMagicEffect(pos, 5)


end

return TRUE
end

and

<globalevent name="EffectTiles" interval="2000" event="script" value="effect.lua"/>

But i want the interval to be random. Tried with

<globalevent name="EffectTiles" interval="math.random(3000, 4000)" event="script" value="effect.lua"/>

and also to delete interval from globalexents.xml and change
function onThink(cid, interval, lastExecution) to function onThink(cid, math.random(3000, 4000), lastExecution)

also not working.

Could someone help me, please?

maybe that works:

local config = { 
	positions = { 
		["1"] = { x = 1074, y = 1059, z = 8 }, 
	} 
} 

local function effects()
for text, pos in pairs(config.positions) do 
doSendMagicEffect(pos, 5)
end

function onThink(cid, interval, lastExecution) 
	addEvent(effects, math.random(3,4)*1000) 
return TRUE 
end

Naw, Its not working :/

Tried both with erased invertal from globalevents.xml and left as it was.

That's an <event type="think" not <global

Very bad.. never use in .xml math randoms, never works o.o!

<globalevent name="EffectTiles" interval="math.random(3000, 4000)" event="script" value="effect.lua"/>

FAIL!!

take loot:
globalevents.xml

<globalevent name="EffectTile" interval="3000" script="effectile.lua"/>

script:

local config = {
positions = {
["1"] = { x = 1074, y = 1059, z = 8 },

},

effects = {
CONDITION_PARAM_DELAYED

}
}


function onThink(cid, interval, lastExecution)
for text, pos in pairs(config.positions) do
doSendMagicEffect(pos, math.random(1, #config.effects))
doSendAnimatedText(pos, text, math.random(1, 255))

end

return TRUE
end

@up yee saw this script, and not really randomizing anything but the type of effects. It don't have to be on global events. I just wanted to make a script that is repeating the effect every random ammount of time. Is this really impossible to do?

bump?
