Using Random function in iLogic what is the Code

[Anonymous]

I know you can use an operator in the parameters as "random()" to produce a random number >0 and <1 as a decimal, but what is the code for doing this in Inventor iLogic? Random just isn't an expression when it comes to iLogic it just says it's a type. Any Insight ?

I could use it in my parameter but once it is in a formula then "random" stays one value.

With this piece of code:

Sub Main()

    'Initialize the random number generator
    '=> Randomize : add this before you call the Rnd function to obtain completely random values
    Randomize
    
    'Random whole number between 1 and 50 :
    random_number = Int(50 * Rnd) + 1
    
    MsgBox (random_number)
    
End Sub
