Random submarine movement

Goodaye,

I'm trying to set up a simple scenario which has one hostile sub, randomly placed in an area. The sub moves through the area at random in order to provide some basic stalking and TMA practice for myself.

The tricky bit that is causing me trouble is how to make the sub change depth / speed at occasional, random intervals. I can do this - more or less - with waypoint forced changes or by creating multiple instances (say ten or more) of the same sub but with different tactics, waypoints etc. None of these solutions are ideal as the scenario is geared for my own use and I'd prefer to have a target that exhibits more random and unpredictable behaviour. Eg. something that I can't reverse engineer just because I designed the scenario.

If there is anyone who has a more elegant solution than the standard stuff I've mentioned above then I'm both appreciative and all ears.

Cheers,
Lancer
