Usage
rand(value)
Using the same value always gives the same result. To vary the result, base the value on a changing number (usually the current frame $F).
rand($F)
When you're randomizing component values (such as X, Y, and Z), change the value for each component so they don’t all get the same number:
|
X |
|
|
Y |
|
|
Z |
|
Note
It is a good idea to use non-integer values as the argument to rand().
