If I am reading the wiki correctly and I wanted to "roll" a six sided die I would use "irandom_range(1,7)" not (1,6) since if I used (1,6) it would never roll a 6. Is this correct?

- manual says. listen to it. irandom(1,6) would return 1,2,3,4,5, or 6.irandom_range(x1,x2) Returns a random real number between x1 (inclusive) and x2 (inclusive). Both x1 and x2 must be integer values (otherwise they are rounded down).

Thanks! Guess I shouldn't rely solely on the wiki since it says x2 is EXCLUSIVE:
Description
The irandom_range() function in Game Maker returns a random integer value between x1 (inclusive) and x2 (exclusive).
