Public Member Functions
void	SetSeed (integer seed)
	Sets the PRNG seed.
integer	GetSeed ()
	Gets the PRNG seed.
decimal	Max (number max)
	Gets a random number between 0.0 and a specified maximum, and advances the PRNG state.
decimal	Range (number min, number max)
	Gets a random number between a specified minimum and a specified maximum, and advances the PRNG state.

Detailed Description

The engine's pseudorandom number generator.

This is preferred over Math's random functions if you require consistency, since Random can be seeded and utilizes a defined algorithm, which functions such as Math.Random cannot guarantee.
