I've been googling but i havent found something that i fully understand. Basicly i just want a simple random number generator between two values. For how much the function is called it makes more sense to do it this way than to use lua. I'm probably over looking something really simple again.

[eax.qbyte]

If you need only and only one number that changes every time, no matter the max value and min value, and doesn't have to be filling the edges or ....
Then a seed generator is enough for that purpose. You can easily seed a unpredictable number using time related functions. One of them is getTickCount. After calling that function register EAX contains that seed value.

rand function from C Compiler library creates a random number in EAX register too. But the series of random numbers created by this function is always the same.
Use srand function to randomize the sequence of numbers created by rand function. srand Needs a integer number as seed for input parameter. Same seeds for srand will cause rand function to generate same series of numbers.
So use time related functions to generate random seeds.

I guess this should be similar to the code to generate some random numbers:

thanks. Another minor question to go with this. Is there a proper way of writing a single byte to memory?

I tried using AL and byte ptr for stuff but it doesnt seem to actually move so i must be over looking something

mov byte ptr [YourAddress],0xYourByte

that simple

im wanting the byte to be the result of the random number. From my understanding i would have to store it in a single byte register like AL and then use the move byte ptr [my adress], al. Am i wrong in that thinking?
