Suppose, just for fun, you want a slider value to bounce around in a random walk.
1. Make a slider and name it place.
2. Give the slider this formula: place + RandomPick(-1, 1)
.
3. In the slider's inspector, set the value of the Max_updates_per_second property to some positive value.
4. Press the slider's animation button and watch the fun.
Note: Were you surprised that you didn't get the dreaded #Circular Reference# error with this slider formula? Slider formulas are allowed to refer to themselves!
