Help Needed with Random Events

[MrFrichyBoy]

Hello I am currently working on my warcraft map and I need help! So Im trying to make random events occur every 5 minutes (1-6 different events), they start happening after 160 seconds have passed in game. I know what I want each event to do, 1-2 clear weather nothing happens, and 3 is Rainy weather giving specific enemies of a type a temporarily speed boost. Number 4 would be a invulnerability and speed boost to all the players. Number 5 would be a blood moon, giving another type of enemies a temporarily speed boost. Number 6 would be randomly placed stun traps across the map. I don't need help with the specifics of each event, I need help with making the event occur periodically and randomly. I also need help with setting up each event. Thank you in an advance.

do you want each event to only happen once, or the same event can potentially happen twice in a row?

I want the potential for them to repeat themselves ! Thanks for the respond
Any ideas on how to make this work?

this is how I would go about it:

• EventsInit
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 160.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on EventsLoop <gen>

this trigger is initially off (right click the trigger to set that)

• EventsLoop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 300.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Run Emit random event <gen> (checking conditions)

• Emit random event
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet EventRandomizer = (Random integer number between 1 and 6)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • EventRandomizer Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • EventRandomizer Equal to 2
          • Then - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • EventRandomizer Equal to 3
              • Then - Actions
                • Trigger - Run RE3 Rainy <gen> (checking conditions)
              • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • EventRandomizer Equal to 4
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Trigger - Run RE4 Speed Invul <gen> (checking conditions)
                  • Else - Actions
                    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                      • If - Conditions
                        • EventRandomizer Equal to 5
                      • Then - Actions
                        • Trigger - Run RE5 Blood Moon <gen> (checking conditions)
                      • Else - Actions
                        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                          • If - Conditions
                            • EventRandomizer Equal to 6
                          • Then - Actions
                            • Trigger - Run RE6 Spam StasisWards <gen> (checking conditions)
                          • Else - Actions

and in this last trigger you send to all the different triggers where you define the specific events. you could have them all jammed in here, but that makes it a pain to read and to edit. this way things are much more straightforward and organized (although possible a teeny bit less efficient, but if you want efficiency GUI isn't your friend anyways... )
