Create Random Number

This task block will create a random integer number between the Low Limit and High Limit specified and will put the result into the variable specified in the "Put into Variable" section.

This task block consists of an input and a done output.

If the input to the block is triggered the block will create a pseudo random number and will put it into the specified variable.

Examples

Here is a simple example of a mission that creates a pseudo random number between 0 and 1000 and places the result into variable var1. Then the number is logged to the mission log.

Copy / Settings / Docs

Each task block has three buttons named Copy, Settings, and Help.

• Copy: This will duplicate the task block with all the current settings.
• Settings: Settings will show a dialog that allows some added configuration for the block
  • Note: This allows you to add a text note for the current block. This note will appear in the log file if the Block Loggin option is enabled.
  • Transition Out Time: Each block can specify a delay in milliseconds that it will wait after an output trigger is activated. This feature is generally not used but is avilable for more granular flow control of the mission if needed.
  • Block Logging: If this is enabled then the internal logging of the block is turned on and will be sent to the mission log. Each block has different amounts of internal logging which can make mission logs become large in some cases. Users generally do not enable this feature because of the limits to data storage.
