pjs.basicRNG()

This API was added in version 7.17.0

This API is intended primarily for RPG to JavaScript code transformation scenarios, and provides a drop-in alternative to CEERAN0.

For new code, it’s recommended to use standard JS method Math.random()

Note: Neither this API nor Math.random() are suitable for generating cryptographically secure random numbers. For that, use Node.js crypto APIs instead.

This API generates a random number between 0 and 1, exclusive. Numbers are generated using Math.random().

Parameters

Seed (number). This parameter is included only for function signature compatibility with CEERAN0 and is ignored.
Random number (field name). A numeric field name defined with pjs.define() that will receive the random number.

Example

pjs.define("random_num", { type: 'float', length: 8 });
pjs.basicRNG(0, random_num);
console.log(random_num);
