I want to generate random numbers in expresso from 1-20.  I have attempted to pass the random node through a range mapper but because the random node generates mostly numbers above 20, the output is always 20 (at least 99% of the time)  Is there a way to generate a specific range of real numbers (or integers) randomly in Expresso?

Thanks

Hi TAK,

So far the manual tells, it is set by default to go between -1 and +1, except it is set to “positive only” then it is 0-1, which is for decimal numbers and this means in my book the real numbers. When I write my “book”, then based on my test/experience, not on the range given later on in the “Help Content>Parameter” (-∞...+∞). “Integer” are different and really large.

To get a random range as you mentioned it, use positive only and set the input of the Range-Mapper to 0-1 and the output to 1-20.

All the best

Thanks

I was going with integers… that really messed me up.  I should have paid more attention in Math class!

You’re welcome TAK. :o)

Yes, math is certainly a key to many doors.

Good luck with the project!
