randomvalue

[rgonzalez]

Helo, I'm trying to generate a random number between 0 and X

where X could be any number stored in a variable, but when I use Evaluate and the system variable RandomValue in something like this:

x=6

{RandomValue({X})}

or this:

{RandomValue(5+1)}

I always get the default behavior of 0 to 1000, is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

Thank you!

Try the example below.
It works

Code: Select all

If you use incorrect or non-integer value in parameter this variable use default parameter (1000)

Thank you, what I was trying to do was:

{RandomValue({num})}+1

But wasn't working. This works:

({RandomValue({num})})+1

Use "JS Evaluate" action for simple arithmetic operations.
This actions designed for this.

Also you can save the value into variable and use "Increment Variable" action
