Define a Variable to RANDOMLY select a number?

[Mosy]

It's such a simple thing but I haven't gotten it to work.

What I'm looking for is to define a variable number between 1 and 5, COMPLETELY random. So each time the variable is defined it picks out a random number between 1 and 5.

One small question; Which coding language do Variables take in? (JS, Python, etc?)
Probably something everyone already knows (I don't, I'm sorry xD)

Thank you. <3

Go into advanced mode and mark the variable value as a runtime expression. Then set the variable value to

Code: Select all

f:random_int(1, 5)

.

Oh, that's way easier than I thought it would be, thank you Enthalpy my friend!

For your other question, it’s all technically within javascript, not PHP, but the expression system is sort of a custom scripting language designed by Unas, so you can’t necessarily rely on any knowledge of existing languages.

This thread, particularly the “Henke’s explanation of the expression engine” part, lists all the functions you can use. I recommend bookmarking it or something cause it’s a really useful thread.

I can heartily endorse that tutorial.

And yes, the expression system is a custom scripting language. Unas thought that letting users execute arbitrary code might be a security problem.

I SERIOUSLY never knew that! Ty for the link! Unas is one heck of a cool guy-
Oh my goodness. Thanks you two, that explains alot! <3
