randomise distance in the peak sop

[karen]

attached hip file, I need to randomise the distance in the peak between 0.1 and 0.3

Try following the peak node with a point wrangle running over group1, and add this code.

float y_boost = fit01(rand(@P),0.1,0.3);
@P.y += y_boost;

My bad, I should have given a better example (not a grid), the real shape is more oval, so there are primitives pointing downwards.

You can use the attribute noise for peaking, the mountain node is a shortcut with it setup. Since you want random per point you could set the element size to something tiny
 

Edit:
Another option is to use soft peak, with "distance metric" set to attribute, and feed it a random attribute with the range you want
