Scripting Question

I'm trying to use the Thing_Projectilegravity action to spawn a thing at a random angle, but I can't find a piece of code that won't generate an error message when I try to compile it. If anyone could help me, it would be appreciated. It's for a single Pwad I'm making that I want to be called "A Battle in Hell"

Thing_ProjectileGravity has a fixed angle.

okay then... if I can't have angle being a variable, then can someone give me an alternate portion of code that will let me spawn something and have it go off in a random direction?

How do you mean "fixed angle"

Thing_ProjectileGravity (tid, type, angle, speed, vspeed)

Here's a typical example from one of my scripts to spawn some debris

Thing_ProjectileGravity(100, 64, random(0, 255), random(10, 40), random(5, 20));
