No problem.
Spirit commands (answer in register 31):
.setvar 31, 4, 4 'Get a random (source 4) number between 0 and 4
.sumvar 31, 2, 1 'Add constant 1 to it
'Register 31 now contains a random number 1 to 5
NQC statement:
int rand1to5
rand1to5 = Random(4) + 1

Spirit commands (to put number of seconds in register 31):
.setvar 31, 4, 240 'Get a random (source 4) number between 0 and 240
.sumvar 31, 2, 10 'Add constant 10 to it
'Register 31 now contains a random number 10 to 250
NQC statement:
int rand10to250
rand10to250 = Random(240) + 10
NB: This is all theory, using resources found on the web. I have never
programmed an RCX in the flesh. No doubt someone will correct me if I'm
wrong!

| I thought my original question was fairly clear, but I guess not! I want to program some "random" behaviors for my robot and download them into the RCX. This being the case, I assume that I need to use the "random" register in the RCX, as opposed to (...) (26 years ago, 3-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
