Distributing 3D layers in one axis ?

Hello,
This script creates random positions to 3D layers and it works well.
But I need to distribute 3D layers only in z axis while keeping x
and y positions as they are. Could someone help me?
(sorry for posting whole script)

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var safeToRun = true;
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
if (myComp == null || !(myComp instanceof CompItem)) {
alert("A Comp must be active to run this script");
safeToRun = false;
}
if (safeToRun) {
clearOutput();
app.beginUndoGroup("3D Layer Distributor");
// Set Range parameters here: [min,max]
var set_X = [-2500,2500];
var set_Y = [-1000,1000];
var set_Z = [-12000,-2000];
var selectedLayers = myComp.selectedLayers;
for (var i = 0; i < selectedLayers.length; i++) {
var myLayer = selectedLayers[i];
var x = 0;
var y = 0;
var z = 0;
x = set_X[0] + (set_X[1]-set_X[0]) * Math.random() ;
y = set_Y[0] + (set_Y[1]-set_Y[0]) * Math.random() ;
z = set_Z[0] + (set_Z[1]-set_Z[0]) * Math.random() ;
