I think I asked this before, but...
Is there an easy way (or correct way) to set a random time event? Currently I'm using
Every 1 second, set Alterable Value A to Random(10)
If Alterable Value A = 1, doEvent
But it seems like there should be a better way.

Set a variable to something random, then have a second variable count one every loop, and when they're equal do the event.
So
Start of the frame
-Set Val A to random(10)
Always
-Add one to Val B
If Val B = Val A
-Do stuff!
Hope that helps.

Well then you're on track. The TimeX extension won't do any differently.
What do you want to happen exactly, besides what you described?

Well, I have a cell which I would like to have divide every 10 to 20 seconds, with frequency depending on a set of variables (upgrades). At random times I want to create two smaller cells and destroy the current cell.

Have an object to store a value
Every 1 second Alterable Value A of Object is greater than 0: subtract 1 from Alterable value A
Alterable value A of Object = 0: (do something, then) set Alterable Value A to Random(10)+10

Just want to say, for the sake of cross platform compatebility, you should not use the TimeX Extencion if you can avoid it.
If you just plan on making Game/ Application for Windows only then its fine.
The TimeX Extencion is an extencion you have to download before you can use it in MMF2.
What the TimeX Extencion allows you to do is make condition saying:
'Every X milliseconds'

Every 1 second set Value to Random (x)
If Value = 1
Then do your action
X is how likely you want the event to occur.
