# RandomValue<no value>
![The RandomValue Node](images/2_DevMode/vfx_editor/nodes/random_1.png)This **node** element is used to generate a single random value between two defined values using a *seed* and *index*. When specifying values, you can supply [Node Inputs](randomvalue/#input), or add fixed values to the node input boxes, or you can add them through the [Inspector](../menus/#h5) window:

### Node Inputs

The RandomValue node permits the following inputs:

 

-   ##### MinRandValue

    This is the *minimum* value for the output (a scalar).

 

-   ##### MaxRandValue

    This is the *maximum* value for the output (a scalar).

 

-   ##### RandSeed

    This is the random seed to use to generate the output between the given min and max values (a scalar).

 

-   ##### RandIndex

    This is is an additional value to be added on to the seed value. Useful when multiple nodes share the same seed but you want different outputs.

 

 

### Node Output

The node will output a scalar (float) value, which will be a random value between the supplied minimum and maximum values.
