real random..

Beginners
1

Ok I’m sure this has popped up before but i cant seem to find anything with a search on the wiki…

ok i have want to put real random values into a table column with the Evaluate DAT …
if i use rand() every cell is identical… how can i get individual random values into the rows of the column that are different? using EVal… i could probably do it with a loop in a script somehow but that’s another level of complexity im yet to master…

i have to loop through this every now and then or re-randomization on a trigger… how can i get a new seed?

thank!

You can use the column/row value to create a new seed for each cell

rand(($C * 10000) + $R)

To make them change every frame throw $F into the mix also.

ah very smart!! thanks a million! maybe good to also throw in the epoch time maybe rather than $F?

You can use $AF for that. $AF will count up forever starting at 1 when the file starts.
