You’d need to pass the FRandomStream* RandomTime to PrintSomething

That’s exactly what I did in the posted code.

For the record: No, you passed an integer value to that function, which means that the Sleep will be called with the same number each time under a single while loop. So the code flow is like this:

• create a random stream
• get a random number between 1-5 (let’s say 2)
• call PrintSomething with this value (2)
• in the while loop sleep for this time (2)

What @UnrealEverything meant by passing the FRandomStream to the PrintSomething function is that instead of an int parameter, you have the FRandomStream* as a parameter, and call RandRange inside your while loop.

Anyone in the future should remember to delete/nullptr the pointers.

Setting it to nullptr is not enough, this is not a managed (garbage collected) ecosystem. A modern approach is to use a managed pointer to automatically delete the object once it’s going out of scope.
