Random Numbers by Spunky on 08-20-2006 at 10:51 PM

I know that there must be a random function that I can use for my scripts, I just can't find it. I tried:

code:
myNum = Random(15);

It's for a colourful text program I made for a friend...

code:
myNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*15);
Should give you a random number between 0 and 15

If you want 1  to 15

code:
myNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*14+1);
Should work.

Hi !

Try this ;)

code:
myNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*16);
// myNum will be between 0 and 15, if you don't want to have 0, use this one :
// myNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*15)+1;
;)

Thanks guys! Didn't work at first, but I'd missed off a closing bracket :$ 

Heres the finished script incase anybody is interested...

EDIT - Start the message with a space if you do not want it to be sent using the script to add colour.  Also, messages that start with "/" have colours disabled so you can still use commands. I caught that little glitch when I tried to get into my preferences :D

Before the colour was the same number as the i variable in the For loop
