Is it RandFloat or RandInt your looking for?

could you explain it a bit more?

I made a random push on rocks when a corridor caves in so they won't go in the same path all the time. I did this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

float spX = RandFloat(3.0f, 6.0f);
float spY = RandFloat(2.0f, 5.0f);
float spZ = RandFloat(3.0f, 5.0f);


AddPropImpulse("dungeon_small01_5", spX, spY, spZ, "");
AddPropImpulse("dungeon_small01_6", spX, spY, spZ, "");
AddPropImpulse("stone_small01_brown_2", spX, spY, spZ, "");
AddPropImpulse("stone_small01_brown_3", spX, spY, spZ, ""); 


If this is not what you're looking for, be more specific please. (:

thank you,
its that i am looking for, its for integer but i will manage to do what i want
i just need to know this line "float spZ = RandFloat(3.0f, 5.0f);" which later i'll translate to "int X = RandInt(1, 5);"

thank you very much both of you
