How to add a step to my embedded rand int

One possible way is to create custom external service API which gives random number with step 15

That is out of my wheelhouse. How can I do it from this? ${rand://int/-125:125}

So there is no way to add a step counter to this? ${rand://int/-125:125}

Maybe, if this doesn't work, is it possible to change the embedded data to pull randomly from an array? Such as {-125, -110, -95,..., 95, 110, 125}

you know, I haven't thought of that. That is something I will need to discuss with my professors for the project but I think it will work out where every number will get assigned multiple times, I guess I'd probably want them evenly distributed to respondents

That worked perfectly, @TomG . For another set of questions, I will need to pull the value that was given to the recipient and either double it or halve it (depending on the question). Can I ensure that they get the same value and put it into the subsequent questions?

For another set of questions, I will need to pull the value that was given to the recipient and either double it or halve it (depending on the question). Can I ensure that they get the same value and put it into the subsequent questions? Sure, add these variables after you set rand: double_rand = $e{ e://Field/rand * 2 } half_rand = $e{ e://Field/rand / 2 } Since some of the rand value are odd numbers, some of the half_rand numbers will have decimals. BTW, you should accept my first answer.
