Making a item have a random int?

[gmod622]

Hello! I have a great idea for a mod and i was thinking if you could give a item(Permit) a randomly generated ID for everyone you make or get.

 

Is this possible?

[hydroflame]

yes BUT you have to make sure the same random number is not generated twice because that could screw things up

 

try looking into NBTCompoundTag

Do you know of any tutorials to get me started with NBT Compounds?

i htink theres a good one on the wiki, its not for items but it works the same way
