Hey,
How do I find out what the output of dbRandomize is??
Like let's say I want to place a square out of three squares then I make my command:

dbRandomize ( 3 );

As far as I know at the time this makes a random number between 1 and 3. But How do I find what the random number is????

HELPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I think you went too fast over the documentation.

Use dbRnd to get a random number :

+ Code Snippet

int dbRnd ( int iRange )

Use dbRandomize to change the random seed generation number (don't use it too often or your random numbers will become not so random, just once at the begining of the code should be fine):

+ Code Snippet

void dbRandomize ( int iSeed )

As you see, dbRandomize returns void, that means it doesn't return any value at all.

Hey,
Morcilla I still don't see how to get the result of what the random number turned out to be. I need to use it to display a random sprite. It seems like it works the same as dbRandomize!!!
