Get more precise random float

[2xD]

Hey.

Is it possible to get a random float number with more than 6 digits after decimal point (tested in MT Random obj)?

Greets,

Yes!
Are you using a counter to display the value?
If so, make sure you have both checked under counter properties:
-number of significant digits (your preference)
-number of digits after decimal point (more than 6, up to 15)

Okay, this one seems to work. But how to get a random value from a set float (so that the digits after decimal point are also random)?

You want a random number of decimal positions?

i.e. like this?
Random(10000.0 ) / ( RRandom(1.0, 100.0 ) * 1.0 )

But if you display it in a counter, you're anyway going to have a fixed number of positions (additional 0's) on the right

You'll need to take floating point precision into account. For instance if you are working with a small number like 1.0 you will be able to use 15 of the decimal numbers. However the higher the value the less precision there will be with the decimal points. So you wont be able to work with 15 digits on the right of the point and 15 on the left of the point. If you open up windows calculator you'll see the limitations for yourself. If you need something like this you could always store the decimal in another value and then concatenate the 2 values for a text representation.
