As for random numbers, getRandom(min, max) returns a random number between min and max, or getRandom(max) returns a random number between 1 and max.
Also, you should check out the stickies in coding help.

--- Code: ---schedule(1000, 0, "echo", "Hello, late world.");
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---schedule(time ms, 0, "command name", "argument 1", "argument 2");
--- End code ---
(I'm not quite sure what the 0 is for. It doesn't appear in official Torque documentation but it is needed in Blockland's version of Torque.)

the 2nd argument is a "guard" that means "if the object is gone when the schedule happens, then dont bother"
So something like this: schedule(<somevalue>, MissiongGroup, "function", "args");
Will do the schedule on time -- but if the MissionGroup (your map) goes away then dont bother (map change anybody?). This is helpful when you arent able to do a cancel() on everything thats scheduled and you want to make sure your script cleans things up nicely.
