Random numbers from file names -w/o BuddyAPI

This item has not yet been rated

Creates random numbers from file names. Does not need the buddy API, but might not work too good on macs, unless their hard drive is named "hard disk". For PC the main drive must be "c:". For script without this limitation see the RNG w/ Buddy API. Format: rand(num, mode) mode: "float" or "integer" Does return 0 so be careful what you use it for.
