Well, the question breeds many more. For example, how do you define "random?" The word seems to have so many meanings these days, unfortunately. And who will be shooting these people? Or did he simply want to show a cutscene?

if you can script, increase the damage in hurt zones and make it only hurt enemys

The 'Ghastly Panic' Is in production as 'Version 2'

You could achieve the appearance of randomness by using the spawn feature setting different characters at variable distances from the player and using triggers in differing locations to spawn them activated as the player moves around and touches the triggers. Setting varying amounts of delay time on each character would add to the random appearance. If different scripts were used for some characters then further random type behaviours could be scripted in.

Lastly of course you could use different looking characters though I dont know if thats what was meant.

and create a script baised on random behavior... Originally I implemented a similar idea into AI v 1.0, although I don't think it worked too well...

The random=x condition could be used to call activated states which cause the spawns of various characters.
If you edit the characters FPE files to call each other in a loop then they could use the random=x to shuffle.
They would either spawn or call the next one to radomly decide to spawn or call the next one and so on.
It would cycle through until a random match was made to call the spawn.
Get it?

Sounds good conjured,

I get it in principle.

I'm having enough problems with trying to get resonably simple character interactions and behaviours between them and the player and their environment.

Wish we all had your undoubted scripting knowlwedge and expertise or it was just easier

Nothing is easy I guess when it comes to character AI.

Au Contrair, AI is easy... it is getting FPSC to like it that is hard.
