Hello, I am trying to add gaussian randoms to my script. I started using: int dynamicReturn = (int) ((rand.nextGaussian()*deviation)+mean); but the issue with that is the Gaussian random will not always stay within the deviation variable. To fix this I did: int dynamicReturn; do { dynamicReturn = (int) ((rand.nextGaussian()*deviation)+mean); }while(dynamicReturn < (mean-deviation) || dynamicReturn > (mean+deviation)); which works but because that would make it skip generated numbers outside of the range, I'm wondering if that would throw off my gaussian distribution? If so, what would be a better approach to use that would still lock all the values within my deviation?
