Random frames exclude 1st

[Tiny]

I want to pick a random frame for example 'random(100)' but exclude the first frame. How do I do that?

[Phi]

Jump to frame number: Calculation:
[color:#3333FF]random(number of frames-1)+2[/color]
+2 as random() will return 0+, and frame numbers are 1+

Oh that's perfect. Thank you!

[Phi]

No problem

By the Way, the Randomizer-Extension can create Random Numbers in user-specified range (randomize between min. and max. Value).
But if you don' t want to use an extension for this, then the formula that SortaCore provided should work like a charm.
Just one Thing i don' t understand in your formula;
why not just:
random(number of frames)+1
is it related to the 1-based or 0-based indexes that the "Frames-Counter" and "Randomizer-Function" are based on?

[Phi]

+1 to exclude first frame
+1 to convert 0+ random generated number to 1+ frame number
= +2
Random() returns 0+ so it's 0-based.
Frame numbers are 1+ so they're 1-based.

Thanks SortaCore for this fast reply. I think i got it now.
