Moving camera at random

[anirus 0]

Hello, I am new to scripting and have just started programming my first script. I have little Java experience but my script works, however I want to implement a piece of code which moves the camera at different times without interrupting the whole script. I set up a variable that randomly switches between two numbers, depending on what number it'll move the camera to a new position, however I dont want the camera to be moving 24/7. I want this to occur maybe somewhere between 10-60 secs. I tried adding a sleep in but then the whole script would sleep. Any way to implement a sleep into a while loop that doesn't effect the rest of the script?

Sounds like what you're looking for is a thread.

If you don't want to go with this approach, you can use a timer object to handle this in the main loop.

To use a thread would I have to create a new class within the program? Also thank you.
