I want to have 30 clones out of 100 for example be written into the MoSelection Tag but in a random order. It's important that in the end there are exactly 30 clones in the MoSelection Tag. I tried to do that with xpresso but shuffling an array of Booles seem to be impossible without scripting :-)
Thanks in advance.

A Python node using the random module seems to work okay. The XPresso tag has User Data for selection count and random seed.
