Wire Randomize Node

Post by vhsdestroyer »

So recently I have been doing a lot of randomized modulation of strings and have been running into an issue. Because the randomize node expects events at the trigger, it is also expecting event based numbers for min and max.
A specific instance where this becomes an issue:

String in--------------------------------------Read Word
String in--count word--/--random (max)------Index

In this example, the RANDOM max should be updating to the number of words in the STRING so that all words are a possible outcome as the RANDOM node indexes the string on the READ WORD. But the random node expects events so the min and max cannot be modulated by float or integer values. In fact the random min and max cannot be connected to any meaningful point of modulation and must be updated manually to define the range.

I'm not sure if this is an issue that can easily be fixed because the random node is an event based node, but it would deliver a lot of interesting results if the ins accepted floats and integers.

Hi,

Try adding an "On Change" node in between what you want to change the value and the 2 nodes.
