CP_Random_RangeInt

Returns a random integer equal to or between the two given values.

Function

int CP_Random_RangeInt(int lowerbound, int higherbound);

Parameters

• lowerbound (unsigned int) - The minimum value of the random number.
• higherbound (unsigned int) - The maximum value of the random number.

Return

CP_Random_Noise

Returns a smooth random value from 0.0 to 1.0 based on a three dimensional coordinate.

Function

float CP_Random_Noise(float x, float y, float z);

Parameters

• x (float) - The x coordinate of the value.
• y (float) - The y coordinate of the value.
• z (float) - The z coordinate of the value.
