gm_securerandom

A module for generating secure random numbers and strings in Garry's Mod

API

random.Bytes(size)

• size (number) - A whole number representing the amount of bytes you want returned

Generates size bytes and returns them as a string.

random.Number([min, max])

• min (number, optional, default 0) - The minimum value to generate
• max (number, optional, default 1) - The maximum value to generate

Generates a number between min and max and returns it.

Usage

Random bytes

require( "securerandom" )
print( util.Base64Encode( random.Bytes( 16 ) ) )

Random number between 0 and 1

require( "securerandom" )
print( random.Number() )

Random number between 1 and 20.5

require( "securerandom" )
print( random.Number( 20.5 ) )

Random number between 5 and 10.5

require( "securerandom" )
print( random.Number( 5, 10.5 ) )

Random number between 0 and 1

require( "securerandom" )
print( random.WholeNumber() )

Random whole number between 1 and 20

require( "securerandom" )
print( random.WholeNumber( 20 ) )

Random whole number between 5 and 10

require( "securerandom" )
print( random.Number( 5, 10 ) )

Changes the seed to 1234 and prints the same number 5 and 10 in the console multiple times

require( "securerandom" )
for i = 1, 10 do
	random.RandomSeed( 1234 )
	print( random.Number( 5, 10 ) )
end
