Description

This function returns a random number between the specified range, and this return value does not need to be an integer. For example, random_range(20,50) will return a random number from 20 to 50, but the value may be a real number like 38.65265. Real numbers can also be used as input arguments.

NOTE: This function will return the same value every time the game is run afresh due to the fact that GameMaker Studio 2 generates the same initial random seed every time to make debugging code a far easier task. To avoid this behaviour use randomise at the start of your game.

Syntax:

random_range(n1, n2);

Returns:

Real

Example:

score += random_range(500, 600);

This will add anywhere between 500 and 600, to the total score.
