Random
Creates random values according to certain types, range and specifications. Stores the result into attributes of the flowing entities.
Parameters
Inputs [Select]
The type of input port.
Setting a Single (circle) input means that the node will be executed once per entity. Useful to choose a different seed for each entity.
Setting a Collective (square) input means that the node will be executed once for all entities. Useful to choose one starting seed for the whole set of entities (yet each entity will have a different random value).

Attributes [Multi-Type List]
List of random values to create. There are many types of random values that can be created, all of which are stored to entity attributes so as to be used in later nodes.

Type [Choice]
Type of color generation method to use.
Standard means that a random value will be set for each RGB component.
