I'm not sure I understand. Cones don't have a radius, they have an angle from a central axis and a point where they intersect this axis. Are you saying you have this intersection point (typically considered the cone's "position") as well as a point on the surface of the cone that's some distance from the central axis?

I think I hear what he wants

Practical Example:
Im making a shotgun for my game and need to randomly disperse pellets so they fire within a fixed cone of accuracy.
