yep:
Your best bet is to search the forum using "random" or "rand" as your search term. There are a number of threads that discuss randomizing. The code depends somewhat on what you are trying to accomplish in your program.

If you are pretty comfortable with the c scripting, you might want to take a look in the demo section and download "Fortune Cookie Sooth" The program uses the rand() function to generate different fortunes. HTHs

let me test here...but is the rand(1) a number being generate from 0 to 1?

As stated in the documentation:
C syntax for rand:
double rand(double a) //returns a value between 0 and a

In your case rand(1), would return a double value between 0 and 1.

You can see rand(1) by creating an Actor: myActor
Now, in the MyActor panel use the Add Event --> Create Actor
--> Add Action -->Create Script
Use the following script:
myActor.textNumber=rand(1);

When you run the program, you will see something like: 0.445357.
Each time your run the program, the number will change.
