still new at this but how would I go about storing gauss into a variable. I tried doing this


$Random = "gauss (1,5)"

print $Random





but it just actually prints it and not the resulting value

Hi oiver55,

You need to do this for Maya to evaluate the expression.

$Random = `gauss (1,5)`;

print $Random;
