Random Numbers

[StonedSoldier]

when using;

Code: [Select]

_rand = random 50
_num = _rand - (_rand2 mod 1)

the random number that is generated is between 0 - 60. is there a way to generate a random number between -10 and + 10.

OK, before i solve it for you, i'll give you the chance to solve
it yourself (*think simple math way*)

What would you need to to to change:

0 - 20

to:

-10 - 10

Now define your random result at a range: 0 - 20
and alter the result as you need to do in my math-riddle
above.  

:edit - ah yeah, btw - random 50 creates a number from
0 to 50, and not from 0 to 60

errrrmmmm......still lost the plot,

could you give more detail please

[Chris Death]

OK then here we go:

if you want to alter a range from: 0 - 20
to: -10 - 10

all you need to do is: remove 10

create a random value between 0 and 20, and remove the
value of 10 from the result. Now you have a value from -10
to 10

Try this:

_rand = (random 20) - 10
