If you want to randomize Z only, remove what is written in the X and Y edit boxes (I should have mentioned it in the help).

Second suggestion noted, perhaps in the next release

Hi!

Great script! Just what I am looking for. However the ability to have a toggle to choose what property you want to control would be great. For instance it’s possibly only the z position you would like to have randomized.

It would also be great to have an absolut/relative toggle. For instance a value of -50/50 in the x filed would remove/add 50 units from the current value.

Just suggestions in making this an awsome randomizer script.

Thanks for the great script. Very useful. FYI – There doesn’t seem to be any audio in the demo video.
