Hello guys,

I have a quick question.
In my project I have an array creating boxes in random positions. Another thing I would like to add is to randomly scale them when they are being created. So I created a variable BoxesScale# and inside the creation
I put:


This doesn't work as it returns 0.
I searched the forums and they suggested dividing the value to produce a float number but it didn't work for me. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Random(10,40) is an integer, so you get an integer result, even though 100.0 is a float.

I've noticed this behaviour is different to DBPro, where you only needed one of them to be afloat to get a float result.
