Random Actuator¶
The Random Actuator creates a random value which can be stored in a property of the object.
Properties¶
- Seed
- Starting seed for random generator.
Distribution¶
Distributions from which to select the random value. The default entry of Boolean Constant gives either True or False, which is useful for test purposes.
Each distribution has one common property called: Property. This can be either a float, integer, or a boolean depending on the distribution type.
- Float Neg. Exp.
Values drop off exponentially with the specified half-life time.
- Half-Life Time
- Half-life time.
- Float normal
Random numbers from a normal distribution.
- Mean
- Mean of normal distribution.
- SD
- Standard deviation of normal distribution.
- Float uniform
- Random values selected uniformly between a minimum (Min) and maximum (Max) values.
- Float constant
- Returns a constant value specified in the Value field.
- Int Poisson
- Random numbers from a Poisson distribution. The mean of the equation is defined by the Mean value.
- Int uniform
- Random values selected uniformly between a minimum (Min) and maximum (Max) values.
- Int constant
- Returns a constant value specified by the Value field.
- Bool Bernoulli
- Returns a random distribution using
the Bernoulli distribution
with specified ratio of
TRUE
pulses. This ratio is calculated by the Chance value. - Bool uniform
- A 50/50 chance of obtaining True/False.
- Bool constant
- Returns a constant value specified in the value field, must be either
True
orFalse
.
