Rand

A command for Oblivion Script Extender

Syntax:

(rand:float) rand  min:float  max:float

Returns a random number between min and max.

Example

set n to rand 1 100

Notes

• This function uses the Mersenne Twister algorithm.
• Returns a float value with quite a few decimal places (and almost never a nice, round integer). Check the returned float against intervals (< 2, < 3, < 4, and so on) rather than against integers (==1, ==2, etc.).
• Assigning the result to a Short var will truncate the decimals. (causing the Max value to almost never occur)
