Description
- Description:
- Random real (floating point) value from 0 (inclusive) to x (not inclusive).
Since Arma 3 v1.55.133393 alternative syntax is added, allowing the definition of Gaussian Distribution[1] params. Uses the same method as setTriggerTimeout command. Quite useful for spawning loot for example, making more valuable items more rare (Alternative Syntax 1)
Since Arma 3 v1.67.139663 two alternative syntaxes are available:- allowing to generate semi-random number based on provided seed (Alternative Syntax 2)
- generating pseudo-random noise texture based on provided seed and returning a single number between 0 (included) and 1 (excluded) at supplied x and y coordinates (Alternative Syntax 3)
- Groups:
- Uncategorised
Syntax 1
Syntax 2
- Syntax:
- random [min, mid, max] Template:since
- Parameters:
- [min, mid, max]: Array
- min: Number
- mid: Number
- max: Number
- Return Value:
- Number
Syntax 3
- Syntax:
- seed random x Template:since
- Parameters:
- seed: Number
- x: Number
- Return Value:
- Number - value from 0 to x
Syntax 4
- Syntax:
- seed random [x, y] Template:since
- Parameters:
- seed: Number
- [x, y]: Array position on the Perlin noise texture
- x: Number
- y: Number
- Return Value:
- Number - value from 0 to 1
Examples
- Example 1:
_rNumber = random 1;- Example 2:
_rNumber = random -10;- Example 3:
- Generate a random position inside a circle (see also Example Code: Random Area Distribution)
_center getPos [_radius * sqrt random 1, random 360]; - Example 4:
- To select random value from an array:
_array = ["apples", "pears", "bananas", "M16"]; _random = _array select floor random count _array; // Template:since _random = selectRandom _array;

Random selections including negative numbers can be obtained via:
_Xrnd = round(random 200) -100;This will yield numbers between -100 and 100.- Be careful using random numbers in multiplayer, each client will come up with a different result. See multiplayer tutorials for more general information about locality.
- The number returned is unlikely to be a whole number.
x = round(random 5) will return 0,1,2,3,4 or 5. (non-uniform distribution, 0 and 5 are half as likely to be selected than any of the other numbers) x = floor(random 5) will return 0,1,2,3 or 4. (uniform distribution, all numbers have the same probability of being selected) x = ceil(random 5) will return 0,1,2,3,4 or 5. (0 is very unlikely, but possible, as ceil 0 is 0) - Posted on July 22, 2018 - 12:58 (UTC+2)

- ↑ Technically, it is a rescaled Bates distribution with n = 4. The distribution is split in two at its midpoint and scaled linearly such that its maximum lies at the specified midpoint.
