You just need to wait for the correct audience.

What are you trying to do? Create a plane then have it fly to you?

If I read your question correctly, you're not going to make it happen with a single "built in" function. It's going to be a collection of functions and procedures. And there are going to be many ways of doing it, depending on what you're trying to achieve.

I would suggest you read the Irrlicht docs and study the examples more...

you want to use rand to get a random number.
here's one way of doing it...

Code: Select all

#include <stdlib.h> // include rand

// first you set the 'seed'
// each seed gives a different sequence of numbers
// setting it to the timer makes it seem more random
srand(getTimer()->getTime());

// we need to control the frequency of the check
if (one_second_has_passed) 
{
  // rand() gives a random number
  if (rand() % 100 < 5) // 5% chance
  {
     // new enemy every (100/5=)20 seconds on average
  }
}
