Hi,

Any way to get the cooldown parameter on events to have a random range values or even a parameter assigned to vary it’s behavior ?

As of the time of writing (October of 2023), the cooldown property is neither automateable nor modulateable, so there is no way to control it with a parameter.

As such, if you want to vary it, we can only suggest creating the behavior you want in your game’s code.
