+<blockquote>Returns a randomly generated number in the range of 0 to number - 1.  This random number uses the game seed, so is synchronised, and thus safe for multiplayer and saved games.  Use GetRandom for anything that could impact the engine state.  For example, a visual gear can use the Lua random, but adding a regular gear should use GetRandom.
