Ok can someone explain how
Seed() and Rand() works. 

It seems not to work the way i wanted it to work. 

short cuts of the script. 

#declare RndNo=Seed(123)

#while (foo > 0)
	#declare Rnd=rand(RndNo)
	#if (rnd <= 0.1)
		//do the stuff
	#end
	#if (0.1 < Rnd <= 0.2)
		//do some other stuff
	#end
	...
	...
#end

it seems to goto just one of the if statement.

/Thanks Bjorn Hellqvist
