Probably worth noting that a random trigger with numeric arg 1 will not
actually fire every 1300 seconds.
It will instead have a 1% chance of firing every 13 seconds. It is unlikely, but can actually trigger twice in a row 13 seconds after the last time it triggered.
If you're looking for something precise as opposed to something that should fire 'roughly' 1 time per 'x' amount of time then there are two ways to go about it.
One of those is to have a 'wait' line at the end of the script and have it be numeric arg of 100.
The other way is to have numeric arg be 100 and increment the value of a variable every time it triggers, and then save the new value as a global, and only run the rest of the script when the variable equals a predetermined value.
An example of the second method would look like so:
Code:
Name: 'Room Global Random Example', VNum: [ 50], RNum: [ 50]
Trigger Intended Assignment: Rooms
Trigger Type: Global Random , Numeric Arg: 100, Arg list: None
Commands:

* Global makes this trigger fire whether a player is in the room or not.
