Tom Gore 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Here's a very simple, but important question: Does the possible range of random X include X or not? For example, can I get 10 from random 10 or is the largest possible returned value 9.999... ? Could be researched by #loop _x = random 1 ? _x != 1 : goto "loop" hint "Found 1!" exit and letting it run for a while but it might take a lot of time to be sure (unless 1 was found, of course). Suma? Anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawdler 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Its a random number to _x so I dont think 1 or 10 is in it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Gore 0 Posted April 26, 2002 That's what I would suppose aswell. It would be a standard random function then but as we have all noticed a few times, OFP scripting language isn't always that standard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Death 0 Posted April 26, 2002 random 1 (as far as i know) creates a value from 0.000000 to 0.999999 If you transpose those random's from real numbers to whole numbers: _rnd = random 5 _rnd = _rnd - (_rnd mod 1) the result would be a number from 0 to 4 0,1,2,3,4 (5 random values) btw - it's not only ofp scripting which is different to some programmer languages (there are even differences between programmer languages) - but the point here is, you have to accept the value 0 also as a value.
