Technical question…
Hey guys…
I have a little bit of a technical question. I am looking at the wiggle() and random() expressions. They both generate random values although both have different effects, but why is it that the random() expression can be +/-/* and / to/from a value, but the wiggle() expression has to be PART of a value… transform.position.wiggle()[0]??
I am just trying to better understand the inner workings of expressions.
Thanks in advance for your help…

That’s just the way they implemented it. random() is a stand-alone random number generator and wiggle() is property method used to apply perlin noise variations to the specified property. You can separate wiggle() from the property value like this:
w = wiggle(1,50) – value;
Or, if you’re wiggling the property other than where the expression lives:
w = transform.position.wiggle(1,50) – transfrom.position
