specifying values for rnd() in the script

[dklr]

Is there any way in the script to specify what the random number generator spits out for the waveshapes/colormaps/flowfields that it displays? It would be nice to have control over this so it looks the same every time.

If the answer is no, is this a good idea for a future feature?

You can... check out srand():

For example:

Code: Select all

A2="123"

B8="srand( A2 )"  // Set the random seed

C0="rnd( 1 )"     // C0 will always be the same random sequence
C1="srand( A2 )"  // reset the random seed (the return value isn't used)
C2="rnd( 1 )"     // C2 will be always be the same sequence as C0

Good luck,
Andy

That's not exactly what I mean. I'm talking about the CTRL X.txt type of script.

I don't think that you can pass any parameters to a config from a script other than those listed in the documentation, i.e. morph time etc.

You could copy each wave/flow etc to a new name enclosed in parenthesis (so G-Force ignores them in slideshow mode), and put the seed value in or just change the random numbers to a fixed number, as in the example change C0="rnd( 1 )" to C0=".75";
