different peak distance for each point in a group

[karen]

in attached file, I have a group1 of points, I apply peak to the group only but need each point to have a randomly different peak distance

(a side note/question: any idea why some are going up and others down?)

Your normals are badly formed, that's why you get that result.

You can't vary the peak distance per point using the Peak SOP but you can do it using a Point Wrangle:

float s = rand ( @ptnum + ch("seed") );
vector n = { 0, 1, 0 };
@P += ch("amount") * s * n;

or in for each
