I'm sure this has an easy fix but I cant figure it out. Basically I want my compass to move to between 355 and 5 degrees (North,+- a bit). RandomRange doesn't work because It finds a number between 5 and 355, but since I'm using the compass it should reset to 0 at 360. Does anyone know of a fix to this? Thanks.

MakeCompass(randomrange(355, 5));

Edit:

Could I just make a case statement like:

Case random(2) of

0: MakeCompass(randomrange(0, 5));
1: MakeCompass(randomrange(355, 359));

This would be the random range of 355 and 5, which means all numbers from 355 till to 5, i can be 215, it can be 100… etc etc.

Try this:

MakeCompass(randomrange(-5, 5));

Not sure though if MakeCompass works with negative numbers.

Edit: also have you tried ClickNorth yet?

randomrange(-5, 5) wouldn't work since the compass goes from 0 to 360, not -180 to 180. I used cases and it works fine. I dont wan't to use MakeCompass(n) since that will make it perfectly north, which I think is unhuman if it goes perfectly north every time.

Your cases solution is the best, I think.

Although MakeCompass(n) doesn't really make the compass exactly north. I believe actually that if the compass is between 355 and 5, it doesn't do anything at all.

case RBool of

  True:  MakeCompass(RandomRange(0, 5));

  False: MakeCompass(RandomRange(355, 360));
end;

Erm, looks like I have been ninja'd.
