Hello everyone,

Apologies to present another basic question, but have struggled a bit to get the line from the main documentation to work in my script:

getRandom(max)
Returns a random number between 0 and max (excluded).
Example : if(getRandom(2) == 0) ...

I'd like to use this to assign a number like "apply X number of clothespegs...". In that case does this information get "plugged" into the text in "show" or somewhere else?

Thanks for any direction you can provide!

No need to apology, it's a pleasure.
getRandom() will create, return a number. Then the symbol + is enough to group some things in order to create a character string. Two examples :

Shorter :

As you can see, there's sometimes a trick : using parenthesis to make sure + concatenate strings or add numbers.

Thanks for your help! Looking forward to publishing my first two scripts soon...

I've coded a quick shortcut here:


Gives you a random number between a minimum and a maximum. Useful for waiting random lengths of time, or giving yourself r(1,4)*6 strokes of the cane
