I swear back on Skulltag if I called random(1, 2); in the same game tic it would ALWAYS return the same number.

Is online game play where the server generates a random number in ACS always going to be 'possibly' different if it generates lets say a ton of random numbers in the same game tic? I don't know if this was for demo compatibility or something. I believe it has changed recently but I'd like to make sure it has before I go building something up and finding out a core element of the game is not what I thought it was.

Test it?

Log(d:random(1,2));

That one instance could work, but there could be something hidden which activates upon various flags or such that would crop up later on.

Therefore probably only a developer can truly answer my question, but thanks for trying.

There is nothing purposely hidden to make random() not random in online play. I just remember somebody reporting that adding bots somehow resets the random number generator.
