I am using Unity 2021.3.7f1, and according to the documentation for 2021.3, the max value of Random.Range int is exclusive.
But I just did some random object generation with that in mind (I wanted maximum of 2 to spawn), and looky here.
3 meat gameobjects.
All I’m doing is putting the random number into a for loop checking “i < meatAmount” so for 3 meats it’d go “0, 1, 2” and then stop loop.
Well I feel stupid… Could a moderator please delete this thread? I don’t really know how to seek them out to DM them.
I honestly feel so embarrassed right now I don’t even wanna say why.
Int or Float 
I’m just really dragging it out for fun…
Lol, it’s okay. Range(float, float) was always inclusive. Range(int, int) was always exclusive.
The reason for that is because of how random values are actually generated.
I made a random RNG based on a permuted congruential generator (PCG) and basically you generate wild hashes that fill all the available value space of an integer. It’s a binary noise, so to speak, and the issue is when you want to extract something meaningful with it, you then want to scale this noise from the range of 0-2^31 to a ranged mapping. If that range is integral, there is neat integer division trick where you compute a division remainder instead, and thus clamp it to the range (where the modulus becomes out of reach, i.e. exclusive), but if the range is a floating point, such as Random.value, then you have to divide the whole sausage with int.MaxValue (2^31), and so you’d have to have a number that is exactly 2^31 to return exactly 1.0f which happens in 1/2^31 cases. So the truth is, while the floating point range is inclusive, because you typically get well-distributed values so near to 1.0f (when they’re near), they’re almost as good as 1.0f itself. Range(float, float) just extrapolates from Random.value, or better said “interpolates”.
Random.value => _random_int / (float)int.MaxValue;
Range(float min, float max) => min + Random.Value * (max - min);
Range(int min, int max) => min + _random_int % (max - min);
This is a naive approach ofc, there are techniques and techniques to improve on the integral distribution based on prime numbers.
Actually using the modulo has a uniform distribution with the exception on the very last section unless your range is a power of two so the whole range divides without rest. The simplest solution when you need a fair random roll is to simply re-roll a new number if it falls in the last incomplete set.
Just as an example if the range is 7, the highest signed integer value mod 7 is 1. So the last incomplete set only contains the number 0 and 1. So technically those have a slightly higher probability. Though with such a small range the difference would not really matter as there are over 300 million complete sets (0 - 6) and just one incomplete. However at larger ranges it becomes more of a problem. So by simply exluding the last incomplete set you get a perfect uniform distribution.
@Bunny83 something like that yes, though when you exclude a set, you lose a chunk of entropy (of course for large intervals). I forgot how exactly I solved this, it was per recommendation of someone smarter than me, armed with a suite of tools for random distribution analysis. I remember only spending a lot of time Monte-Carloing, making sure I didn’t mess something up. but it was several years ago, I might do it again. if I do, I’ll remember to post what the solution was exactly.
I used this for all my TRS-80 Model 100 games back in 1984.
If you just called it and graphed the output it wasn’t great.
But if you called it a lot from all over your program, it actually did fantastically well, and I never “felt” like my games ever played twice or were predictable in any way.
; easy cheesy random numbers on an 8085 CPU on the TRS-80 Model 100:
; uses contents of A and whatever HL happens to be pointing to at time of call
RND:
PUSH HL ; preserve
ADC (HL)
LD HL,RR ; first byte of random state
ADC (HL)
LD (HL),A
INC HL ; advance to next byte of random state
ADD (HL)
LD (HL),A
INC HL ; advance to next byte of random state
ADC (HL)
LD (HL),A
POP HL
RET
RR DS 3 ; 3 bytes of random state
You can play it in any of the games prefixed with “VV” in my KurtMaster2D app.

OH YEAH! I forgot I opened sourced all this code years ago and you can see it all here, including built binaries of the above games to run on your TRS-80 Model 100.
Wow I wish anything from my 80’s survived. My life is like a Winamp visualization, you know the shader where the buffer is constantly blurred and fading away.
Same, all my old stuff… probably gone </3
