You can assign the type directly by a statistical discrete function or indirectly with the help of an array of allowed types.

directly value for label Type in source code

return duniform(1,3,getstream(current));

indirectly with an array

Array myTypes = [1,2,4];
return  myTypes[duniform(1,myTypes.length,getstream(current)];

Depending on run time you exchange the array i.e. by a label value at the source.
