Is there a better way to get a random number between itself and its opposite?
This is what I have for my spread script. "spread" is always going to be positive, and I want the spread to be a random decimal between its opposite and itself.
local NewPos = mouse + Vector3.new((math.random(spread) - math.random(spread*2)), (math.random(spread) - math.random(spread*2)), (math.random(spread) - math.random(spread*2)))
This is what I had, but it doesn't seem to work too well. Could I get some assistance?

Could you please give us an example of what you want NewPos to return? I don't really understand. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

It's bullet spread. It's getting the mouses position, then offsetting it by the a number between -spread and the spread. For example, if spread was -0.25, it could be -0.25, -0.2, -0.1, 0, 0.1... etc, you get the point. Infinite amount of numbers, not listing them all. gitrog 326 — 6y

Why not use the second parameter of math.random? hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

math.random(X,Y) returns a number that is equal to X, equal to Y, or between the two.

Try putting math.randomseed(tick()) before it. Thundermaker300 554 — 6y
