script

[E Forget]

Hi, 

I need to script the “set the level to “row 0 column 0”” but not randomly between all the values between ”themax“ and ”themin“, but randomly between two fix values.

Themax or themin only.

What's should I write to replace “set newLevel to (random number from themin to themax)”?  

Thank you

Éric

                set themax to -20
set themin to -30
repeat with eachCue in cues of theGroupCue
if q type of eachCue is in {"Audio"} then
set newLevel to (random number from themin to themax)
eachCue setLevel row 0 column 0 db newLevel
end if
end repeat

Your random number generation and level setting are correct.

The complete script should be

tell application id "com.figure53.QLab.5" to tell front workspace

set themax to -20

set themin to -30

set theGroupCue to last item of (selected as list)

repeat with eachCue in cues of theGroupCue

if q type of eachCue is "audio" then

set newLevel to (random number from themin to themax)

eachCue setLevel row 0 column 0 db newLevel

end if

end repeat

end tell

If you just want to flip flop between two specific values at random use:

set newLevel to themin + (random number from 0 to 1) * (themax - themin)

I couldn’t find a more elegant way…

Yes, this is the answer, sorry,  I had completely misread your original question

Thank you both for your quick response.

It so simple now and elegant.

To make amends for my total misread of your original question I will also offer this which uses 'some item of list':

tell application id "com.figure53.QLab.5" to tell front workspace

set levelsList to {-30, -20}

set theGroupCue to last item of (selected as list)

if the q type of theGroupCue is "group" then

repeat with eachCue in cues of theGroupCue

if q type of eachCue is "audio" then

eachCue setLevel row 0 column 0 db (some item of levelsList)

end if

end repeat

end if

end tell

which is easy to adapt for more than 2 possible levels e.g

set levelsList to {-3, -6,-9,-60}

hahaha

Now I know, not one way, but two new ways. :)
