This command behaves identically to 'specialeffect', but the effect will be centered on the invoking character's sprite. <Player name> parameter will display <effect number> on another Player than the one currently attached to the script. Like with specialeffect, when specifying a player, <send_target> must be supplied, specifying AREA will retain the default behavior of the command.

This function returns a number ... (if you specify one) ... randomly positioned between 0 and the number you specify -1. (if you specify two) ... randomly positioned between the two numbers you specify. rand(10) would result in 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9 rand(0,9) would result in 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9 rand(2,5) would result in 2,3,4 or 5
