How can I set the rnd() command to select a number from a series of them(such as 2-4-5-7)? Is it possible?

You'll need to do a bit of code that will use a range of random numbers to pick a number that you want. for example:

a=rnd(300)
if a>=0 and a <100
a=2
else
if a>=100 and a<200
a=4
else
if a>=200 and a<300
a=5
endif
endif
endif


I would say that's at least one way of doing it.

Hope it helps!

if you put:
rnd(10)+5
It'll give you a number between 5 and 15.
edit: Sorry, i thought you meant something else

.........what's the point of reading this?
