Usually the simplest solution is best. Code readability > tricky math. It's a lot easier to look at mine and see what it does than it is to stop and mentally parse out int(random(1,2.9))*5. |
Bah, this is elementry level math. Nothing tricky about it.. Had it been more complicated, yes I would have done like chris showed however I prefer doing it as BlueMelon showed at that point. It was just kinda the first thing that poped into my head to help, without adding a bunch of lines to his script.
