I see in the ActionScript readme there's $random$, but in the internal.xml I see just $rand$. What I want is to be able to get a random # from 0 to 50. No more, no less.

Incase you must know why, it's for my NewsChanger Script

It's "$rand$"

Used with MOD of 51, it should give you a number from 0-51

Like this,

SET jump $rand$
MOD jump 51

Thanks, that was what I wanted, now I just have to throw some ifs in there to keep it from going to a negative number and I'll be set.

It shouldn't be giving you any negative numbers

Well after I finish up the basics of my newest script ConfigSwitch I post the section so someone can correct me.
