I tried searching for this but there was no feature suggestion about this, so I added it since this is a very useful feature.
It's also my first suggestion, I don't know if I made it right...

If you really need FRandom right now, you can do what the source does right now for random, which is to multiply a decimal and a random number. An example used in the Decorate is to get the FRandom of 1 and 4.984375, you subtract the lower bound (1), and divide 255. Then in your replacement you do this: 1 + random(0, 255) * 0.015625

frandom should be present in Zandronum 2.0 alpha.

Frandom works fine. There's some weird behavior were the result gets truncated to an int before doing some operations, but that is also a bug in ZDoom 2.5.0.
