Get random float?

[Advanced Bot]

Is there anyway of making a getRandomDecimal?

getRandom() returns a random normalized float.

getRandom() returns a random normalized float.

Oops, I meant decimal?

What do you mean by "a random decimal"?

[Xalos]

Uh, if you mean a random value within a range:

Code: [Select]

function getRandomF(%lim0, %lim1)
{
    %diff = %lim1 - %lim0;
    return getRandom() * %diff + %lim0;
}
Note: The limits don't have to be in a specific order. getRandomF(20, -20); and getRandomF(-20, 20); return values in the same range.

By normalized he means between 0 and 1.

[Pecon]

getRandom(0, 1000)/1000

Or similar for however many digits you want?

Code: [Select]

function GetRandomDecimal(%dp)
{
%range = mPow(10,%dp);
%random = getRandom(0,%range) / %range;
return %random;
}%dp is to how many decimal places.

Using getRandom(); without any arguments returns a random decimal number from 0 to 1.
Never mind. Port already posted it.

Sweet, this is what I was looking for. Thanks.
