What is the syntax for multiply and divide?

Post by **Venima** » February 17th, 2010, 5:09 am

New question: I've tried doing

Number1 = (* $Number1 4)

or Number1 = (/ $Number1 2)

it doesn't recognise the syntax. Can I have the symbols for multiply and divide? Also, what language does sandbox use? Maybe that would help if I come across anything else syntax related.

Old question: Say I want to make you play a guessing game with an npc, and you have to guess the right number. How can I make the right number be random? Just looking for the syntax

rnd x will return a pseudo-random number between 0 and x - 1

the functionality is used in a great many places

so for example I could do:

chosen_number = rnd 4 (the range being 0 to 3)
or
chosen_number = (+ $chosen_number rnd 4)

right?

Ok for anyone else reading this you have to put rnd x withing brackets e.g. (rnd 10)
