rand

This plugin adds various methods for generating seeded random numbers.

rand.bool()
rand.bool(chance)
rand.float()
rand.float(max)
rand.float(min, max)
rand.int(max)
rand.int(min, max)
rand.int(min, max, step)

Generates a random number of the specified type. rand.bool will output a true or false value. By default it will have a 50%, or 0.5, chance of being true, but can take an optional chance arg if it needs to have a different chance. rand.float will output a number between 0.0 and 1.0. It can take in different arguments if a different range of numbers is needed. rand.int will output a number between min and max (inclusive). If only one argument is given, min will default to 1. If a step value is provided, then the output will be an integer number of steps away from min.

Example:

print(rand.bool(0.75)) -- 75% chance of true
print(rand.float()) -- a number between 0.0 and 1.0
print(rand.float(0, scx)) -- a number between 0.0 and scx

print(rand.int(10)) -- a number between 1 and 10
print(rand.int(5, 10, 0.5)) -- a multiple of 0.5 between 5 and 10, (inclusive)

rand.setseed

rand.setseed(number)

Sets the seed to a specific value. If you don't like the numbers you're getting from the rand plugin, you can set the seed to a different number to "reroll" and get different values.
