Notes

• Be careful using random numbers in multiplayer, each client will come up with a different result. See multiplayer tutorials for more general information about locality.
• The number returned is unlikely to be a whole number. To return a whole number combine random and round (e.g. x=round(random 5) will return either 0,1,2,3,4 or 5.)
