Good evening to all,
Does anyone know how to create a rule that returns a random number between two numbers does not close?
example between 3 and 8 not counting 4-5-6-7

    Wait, what?

    Do you want the rule to randomly pick either 3 or pick 8?

    Yes he just wants two number values chosen at random.

    At least that's how I took his question. I was going to answer it as I'm familiar with random, but I don't know how to achieve what he is going for.

    Maybe he should be lil more specific. Do you mean any 2 numbers between 1-9 and 0. Because 12 and 23 are 2 seperate numbers. Or are you meaning 2 Digits. Like rolling Dice. Or do you mean like flipping a coing. Heads 1 Tails 2 or Heads 4 Tails 7. Always a 4 or a 7?

    Heads and tails I'm pretty sure is what he means. But hey I'm not him so who knows lol. Don't really see the application for two random numbers as you could do something to that effect much easier a different way.

    Make a interger attribute call it randomnumber. That will be the random number generated, it will be stored in that attribute

    whenever you want the random number to be generated, have a change attribute behavior changing randomnumber to random(1,8)

    Youll have to go threw the expression drop down and pick random, then replace min and max with the lowest possible number, and the highest possible number you want.

    Cheers

    John will that stop 2-3-4-5-6-7 from being chosen? I think he wants the random generator to ignore all digits but the 2 he wants. He used 3 and 8 as a example?

    ahh i see didnt notice that.

    IF you wanted to pick between say 3 and only 8 this is a easy way to do it it.

    you could set it up the same as above except have a extra attibute called generated number

    then have a rule when attribute randomnumber is equal to or less then 4, change attribute generated number to 3

    then have another rule when attribute random number greater then 4, change atibute generated number to 8

    that will only pick betwwen those 2 numbers depending on the random number made

    cheers

    I think he is going to have to get with you privately so he can explain what he is actually wanting to do. Probably doesnt want to spill his idea on here.

    He could be thinking about a missle doing 3 damage sometimes 8 damage. he could be talking about something like rolling of the dice. Like in a DND style game. He could be talking about a image int he background that a simple animation could fix.

    If he wanted either 3 or 6 he could do random(1,2)*3

    just do something like random(1,2)

    when X=1 change attribute A=3
    when X=2 change attribute A=8

    I think the only way to do this is if Charlie Sheen programs it. Winning.
