Hello,
I was wondering. The Following will randomly generate a positive number 0.0 to 0.5 for integer random.
integer random = (integer) llFrand (0.5);
How would i make it so that it could produce a random number from -0.5 to 0.5 What would i need to do to make the integer random be a random number that spans from negative numbers to positive? -0.5 to 0.5
Thank you for your time.

Random has to be a float, an integer will be truncated and all you'll get is 0's out of that.
For -0.5 to 0.5 do an llFrand(1.0)-0.5, ie a random number from 0 to 1, then shift it by 0.5 by subracting. |

edit: right, what Shadow said..
"llFrand (1.0) - 0.5" should do it. _____________________
