Like if I did
random_num(0,3000)

how long would you think it would take so it picks the random num?

Random_num, this is an example of how to use it.

Code:
public eight_ball(id) {     new answer = random_num(0, 4) // chooses random number from 0-4     if(answer == 0)     {         client_print(id,print_chat,"[8BALL] You will drive off a cliff and die.")         return PLUGIN_HANDLED;     }     if(answer == 1)     {         client_print(id,print_chat,"[8BALL] I refuse to answer you!")         return PLUGIN_HANDLED;     }     if(answer == 2)     {         client_print(id,print_chat,"[8BALL] You will grow up and die.")         return PLUGIN_HANDLED;     }     if(answer == 3)     {         client_print(id,print_chat,"[8BALL] You have disturbed by ball-ness")         user_slap(id, 99)         return PLUGIN_HANDLED;     }     if(answer == 4)     {         client_print(id,print_chat,"[8BALL] You will win the next few rounds.")         return PLUGIN_HANDLED;     }     return PLUGIN_HANDLED; }

He didn't ask how to use it. He asked how long it would take generate the number.

This is a trivial task for any CPU and should be completed in less then a millisecond.

Why do you need to know?
Less than a millisecond. These things go by very quickly.

Actually, since the random number generator is the one put into C and C++ from either HL1's engine or from the STL or STD, its a simple mathamatical evaluation, meaning it takes as much as the function call to PAWN + a simple evaluation + the return value + a call to PAWN, which is significant, but no where near a whole milisecond; I'd put it at approximately 1000 - 10000 ( due to PAWN execution, not the actual generator) machine code instructions, which on a 1 gigahertz processor, is better approximated in billionths of a second, not millionths.

In simpler terms, it isn't expensive.
