Random Numbers

[Eradani]

what are we using for random number generation? is it in C++ or LUA
(couldn't find anything in http://www.eq2emulator.net/wiki/index.p ... _Functions concerning random numbers)

what is it returning?
a) random() = float 0.0 .. 0.999999999
b) random(10) = 1..10
c) random(10) = 0..9
d) random(7, 14) = 7..14

It depends where you want to use it. In the server code you can use rand(). I also remember I implemented at least one random number generating function in common/miscfunctions.cpp. In LUA you can use math.random().

sorry, must have been 1/2 asleep when i asked this. found the Lua Reference manual and, of course at the bottom of a pile of books, my [url=desk://topOfPile.Books]C++ manual[/url].
