You should use the UTIL_SharedRandomFloat( m_pPlayer->random_seed, 0, 5 ); random function(s). These functions (Leon, Botman, tell me if I am wrong here) will allow the random sequence generated by the server and the client to be the same :) So your "random" effect will gel between the server and the client (hence the shared name). FA implements this and you don't see a difference between client and actual.
