Rand-multiple (Arithmetic operator)
Gets a random number. This number can and will change between successive calls to this sexp.
Returns a number. Takes 2 or 3 numeric arguments...
1: Low range of random number.
2: High range of random number.
3: (optional) A seed to use when generating numbers. (Setting this to 0 is the same as having no seed at all)
Comments
Use this instead of rand if it will be called more than once in a mission. Unlike rand, this SEXP will re-randomize the number for each call.
