I'm not in the know but could 'property-randomize' be used to slightly vary the spin rate? I think it is formatted: <command>property-randomize</command> <property>/thepropertyyouwantouse</property> <min>1</min> <max>10</max> Or something along those lines. I'm not even sure if that is usable because it looks like it writes to the property rather than making it available for an effect (if you follow me). Anyone in the know on the above?
