Random
Random is a Siceliot effect.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Gives each copy Clone to points stamps a random value of its own between Minimum and Maximum. The same frame always reads the same value.
Wired into Clone to points’ own Scale, Rotation or Opacity, or into Label points’ Change, Label scale, Text step or Label rotation, it gives each stamp or label its own value, for up to 4096 points. In what a clone layer shows, it renders that layer once per copy, as Clone index does. Anywhere else it reads as the first copy of one.
