This compound adds randomness to any parameter using a mean value around which the random values are generated according to the variance.
Plug its Value output into different ports of any compound, such as the Speed, Mass, and Size ports of the Emit compounds, but there are many others that work.
For more information, see Randomizing Particle Values.

Current object's name. |
|
Base Value |
The mean value around which the random Variance value is calculated in any XYZ direction. For example, if this value is 2 in Y and the Variance value is 1, the random value possibilities would be any value between 1 and 3 in Y. |
|
Variance |
The amount of variation of the randomness on either side of the Base Value. |
|
Seed |
This number is used as the basis for the randomization. Changing the seed value creates different random generations of values without having to change the base value or variance. |
|
Animated |
Toggles the animation of the randomness; that is, whether it varies over time or not. |
