There is a distinct lack of random functions for vectors, so I decided to add some to the Mouse Potato Utils Plugin.

However, I’m not sure whether I should make the right end of the range inclusive (make it a maximum) or exclusive (like the range() function) when it comes to integer vectors.

I’ll make it inclusive for now, but what do you think?

    I already named the variables minimum and maximum, so inclusive should make more sense. The code generates a vector within a square/cube defined by 2 other vectors.

    Those are all good questions, and yes.

    • It saves time because I (and future plugin users) don’t have to implement placing a vector in 2/3d space randomly, and it makes the code cleaner.
    • Not a lot, and yes.
    • The function is pretty much set-and-forget, but I might write an unit test just in case the laws of mathematics change overnight.
