wait(math.random(15,20)

script.Parent.EvilLaugh:Play()
script.Parent.EvilLaugh.Ended:Wait()

end

Hope This Helps!

Make sure to put a 'math.randomseed(tick())' in the first line of code, It makes the randomness even more random Vinceberget 1420 — 6y

To make your cooldown from 15-20 seconds you'll need to change the wait() time.

local sound = script.Parent:WaitForChild("EvilLaugh")
while true do
    wait(17.5) -- average of 15 and 20
    sound:Play()
    wait(sound.TimeLength)
    sound:Stop()
end

The 'wait(sound.TimeLength)' bit will make it so that the sound will stop after it's done playing.

This is quite simple, you’re using the correct loop, but I’d use repeat as it feels a little bit cleaner.

local EvilLaugh = script.Parent.EvilLaugh --//Get used to reference variables, they help juristically
repeat wait(25) --// time between each “laugh”; before the next run.
   EvilLaugh:Play()
      wait(EvilLaugh.TimeLength)
   EvilLaugh:Stop() --// Extra precaution if the sound doesn’t stop
until --// you should probably provide a conditional statement to break the loop as if something breaks have by the loop processing nothing forever.

Hope this helps!
