Random

Uniform random decimal in [0, 1). A building block for probability gates and randomized flavor. For typed integer or decimal ranges, reach for RandomRange instead.

Category: Math Returns: decimal

Signature

Random()

No arguments.

Examples

Random() < 0.3                  // 30% chance gate
Random() < (luck_score / 100)   // probability scales with a variable
If(Random() > 0.5, "path_a", "path_b")
                                // 50/50 branch on a conditional

Notes

The random stream is seeded per session. The runtime captures the seed in save snapshots so a snapshot-restored game replays the same sequence. Two calls to Random() in the same evaluation produce different values; the sequence is deterministic given the seed.

For deterministic per-slot picks (cosmetic flavor that should stay stable within a slot), see Pick and Cycle.
