Function: float llFrand( float mag );

Возвращает вещественное псевдослучайное число в интервале [0.0, mag) (если mag положительно) или (mag, 0.0] (если mag отрицательно).[1]

• float mag Любое вещественное значение

При переводе вещественных чисел в целые следует применять операцию типового преобразования (integer) , а не функции округления (llRound, llFloor, llCeil). (Понятия не имею, почему --прим. пер.)

Предостережения

  • Данный генератор случайных чисел не является абсолютным.
    • The sequence of random numbers are shared across the entire process, and not independently seeded. Therefore, the pseudo random number generation is not suitable for any application which requires completely predictable or completely unpredictable results.
  • It should be remembered that when passing llFrand an integer as the mag, it will by implicitly typecast to a float. If the integer is outside the range [-223, +223] it may not be accurately represented (this is an inherent limitation of the float type). Likewise when using llFrand to generate a random integer, it will not contain more than 24 random bits.

// Sometimes it is useful to get a random integer over a given range. This is a surprisingly tricky and emotive subject // and has caused endless discussion on the scripting groups. // The primary cause of probability errors when employing llFrand is to have a varying bin size on the edges of the range. // // As the bracket notation indicates, [0.0, mag), the function is inclusive of the 0.0 and exclusive of the entered value. // Because an LSL floating point number is only a subset of real numbers and does not have infinite granularity, this schema // will work for any float greater than float t = 1.175494351e-38; at which value the function will // return only zero. At a float beyond this, a math error occurs.

// Returns a pseudo-random integer in the range of min to max inclusive.

// Rationale: Expands the range by 1.0 to ensure equal bin spacing on ends relative to the middle of // the range and then uses an integer cast to round towards zero.

// Caveats: This function is not range checked and will fail if max < min

More Random

As stated, llFrand() provides a pseudo-random number (not truly random, but it "feels" like it). For a more truly random number, you can create a "seed factor" by creating a random number of random numbers prior to the actual final generation. Example: <lsl>//FOR AN INCREASINGLY RANDOM NUMBER: // creates a significantly "more random" random number integer loop=0; integer count=(integer) llFrand(50); // generate a random number of loops while(loop <= count){llFrand(1);++loop;} // generate random numbers within the loop integer actual_number=llFrand(100)+1; // generate the final truly-random number </lsl> This causes a random(50) number of random numbers to be created prior to your actual final random number, significantly increasing the random factor in arriving at your final result.
