random number in the prompt

[by321]

Hi,
Suppose I want a prompt that says "camera placed X feet away", where X is a random number in a range. I went thru the syntax guide and it seems this is not directly implemented. I think I can simulate it this way:

camera placed {8|9|10|11|12}.{00|25|50|75} feet away

This would give me a random distance from 8.00 to 12.75 feet in steps of 0.25. It would be better if it's implemented directly, perhaps something like this:

camera placed at { $rand(8,12,".1f") }

".1f" is the floating point number format specifier, so I would get 8.0, 9.1, 11,3, etc.
