Choose vs Random

In setting up a Dice sprite, is there any preferred method when it comes to choosing between:

Choose    or    Random?

In reading the manual, I can see where both would work just fine.

Thank you.

The difference is how you're going to set the expression itself.

For a 6 side dice you would use :

Choose(1,2,3,4,5,6)

or

int(random(1,7))

Choose returns only one of the parameters inputed, whereas random would return any number in the range, so adding int() and making sure the range is between 1 and 7 (random won't never return/reach the last bound of the range).

Also choose() can accept strings as parameters whereas random() only deals with numbers (float).

Whatever you like, it doesn't make much difference really.
