Does anyone know of an object for or method of randomly choosing from floats within a list?

Thanks
Jack

I couldn’t tell you why I put it there if I wanted. I did this pretty fast, without thinking too much about optimization.

It improves readability, avoids errors when you go back to a patch and move things around, and takes next to 0 computing. Becomes more important when your patches get bigger though.
