Randomly executes one action from a list. First, the action has a probability that any action is executed at all. If it does execute, it randomly chooses one action that will execute.

RandomAction

Randomly execute action(s).

---

ProbabilityPercent	Propability that one of the actions will execute. 100% means a random action from the list will always execute.
Actions	You can reference an action multiple times to increase its probability.

Possible uses

• Create different experiences (different dialog, random failures, random location to go to)
• Have something randomly occur in a timespan. Set the ProbabilityPercent to a low value and have a TimerTrigger trigger the RandomAction multiple times. The ProbabilityPercent and frequency of the TimerTrigger will determine the timespan.

• A Menu Prompt Trigger can also be used to create branching paths in your mission.
