[harlowe] How to get the "random" command to substract/add a random percentage from a value?

Rafe

I'm trying to cause it to give me a number stored in $variable1, to which it should either add or substract a random percentage. In this case, something in between -25% and + 25%.

($variable1 + ($variable1 * (random: 0.75,1.25)))

Is there a way to do it?

I'm very new to this, but it looks like

(set:$variable1=$variable1*((random:75,125)*0.01))

(print:$variable1)

could work, or something similar at least.

It was actually this, but your answer helped.

$variable1 to ($value * ((random: 75,125) * 0.01))
