'''randvar''' and '''randvarvar''' generate a random number and put it in a variable.
randvar <gamevar> <value>


randvar and randvarvar MUST NOT be used in unsynchronised code or you will get a desync. furthermore this desync is insiduous and won't appear immidiately but only the next time the random number generator is used for its proper function.
This function generates a random number from 0 to <value> and assigns it to <gamevar>.


in the official eduke releases and many modified versions (including current releases of eduke32) this is broken and use will desync multiplayer
This command should not be used in unsynchronized code.  See the list of [[unsynchronized events]] for  a full list.


we have now fixed it
In prior releases of DOS EDuke, randvar and randvarvar contained a flaw that would desynchronize multiplayer.  The bug has since been corrected for post-1.0 releases of EDuke32.
