I'm attempting to make something akin to a MK "TOASTY" on a current project, and im unsure of how to implement an idea a friend gave me where there's a small chance a different person appears at the corner of the screen.

I tried using this to make it work, but i didnt count on the two helpers processing seperately from one another.

Code: 
[State 1000, 4]
type = Helper
trigger1 = movecontact && (random=[0,249])
helpertype = normal
name = "ANNOUNCER"
ID = 1012 
pos = 75, 45
postype = left
size.xscale = .25
size.yscale = .25
stateno = 1012
ownpal = 1

[State 1000, 4]
type = Helper
trigger1 = movecontact && (random=[250,999])
helpertype = normal
name = "ANNOUNCER2"
ID = 1013
pos = 75, 45
postype = left
size.xscale = .25
size.yscale = .25
stateno = 1013
ownpal = 1

I'm assuming it can be alleviated by using an ifelse trigger, but Im unsure of how to use it in the helper.

1) You don't need 2 different helpers. All code could be included in a single helper/state that plays different animations and sounds
2) every "random" instance will play independently. In your example, you can have both helpers playing at the same time, because each "random" is evaluated separately.
3) Also, use !Numhelper(xxx) to prevent the same helper to be spawned multiple times

That last one got it to work exactly as needed. Thanks! :D
