How do you make random numbers anyway?
and I mean in QDK cuz I don't write script by hand. :)

Instead of just writing a number, write $rand(a;b)$ instead, where a and b is your range of numbers.
For example, when setting a numeric variable contents, setting the contents to:
$rand(5;10)$
will choose a random number between 5 and 10.

You just write it in instead of a number, in any place you would type a number, for example in the "Set a numeric variable" script command.
