Text of this guide (for searching): Script Tiles: Random Numbers
Click a green clock to run one of the scripts. Stop that script and then try the other one. Random number tiles can be added to any script tile with a number in it.
The range can be changed from 5.
Random number tiles are found in the gold box in the top border of each Scriptor. The random tile is the third tile from the top.
The Object Catalog's Scripting tab also has random number tiles. Click the green clock to start the script.
Read the heading changes showing in the watcher.

values to learn more about the
effect of random numbers.
