Well I've finally got to a point in making my game and I need too know if there is a random Function/Method ? I don't recall learning it when learning lua. So in my game (One Piece) I want to make it so some parts (Devil Fruits) spawn randomly over the terrain.

Well, for your purposes math.random() should be fine.
math.random() takes two arguments, a starting number and an ending number, then proceeds get a random integer between those two numbers. If not given any arguments, it will return a random number between 0 and 1.
print(math.random(1,10))
Using this, you can proceed to get random x and z coordinates, then create you part in the location. For example,
while true do
wait(3)
local p = Instance.new("Part")
p.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
p.Parent = workspace
local randomX = math.random(1,10)
local randomZ = math.random(1,10)
p.Position = Vector3.new(randomX, 0, randomZ)
end
What this does is position a part randomly in a square 10 x 10 studs big. Of course, all you do to make the square bigger is to make the arguments in math.random()different.
