Creates a random number based on the provided seed. The number will be in the range of 0 to 1. The same number is produced for the same seed, so to vary the random number the seed should be varied.
Note that even the smallest changes in the seed value will produce completely different numbers, so it may produce different results on different operating systems or compilers.
If the result is a vector2, vector, or vector4, each component will be a different random number. Thus, if you have the code:
vector pos = 1; float seed = 0; pos *= rand(seed);
pos will get different values in its .x, .y, and .z components. If you wish a uniform scale, use the float() cast:
vector pos = 1; float seed = 0; pos *= float(rand(seed));
