"bang"-[random 381]-[- 80] will give pseudorandom integers between -80 and 300 (inclusive at both ends of the range). If you want a different granularity than whole numbers, you can increase the number given to [random] and do a multiplication.

Hello list,

I've been trying to create a random range of numbers, say, from -80 to 300. this seems like it would be very simple, but the answer is eluding me. if anyone can help out or point to some help that would be great. Thanks alot
