I Have been using the following code to randomly generate tornadoes on my map: var count = 1;
while(count<(random(10))){
ent_create("tornado.mdl",vector(random(20000),random(20000),0),tornado);
count = count + 1;
} The problem is that they are in the same place each time? What am I doing wrong?

random in computers usually isnt random. you need to set the random seed first i'd assume. i am new to c-lite but do a fair bit of c++.
go through the manual and search for random seed, then set it to the hours/minutes/seconds of the system clock. always works great.
something like:
srand(clock.seconds)
etc.
just once, at the start of your program

I use random(100); for example which would be 0-100 or random(100)50; 50-100 works fine for me; If your doing it in a comparison try doing like var r;
while(1){
r = random(100); wait(1);
while(example > r)
{
blahblahblah wait(1);}

Sorry, thought you we're using lite-c not c-script. When using c-script you should use randomize(). Be carefull random(100) does not return random numbers from 0 - 100 but from 0 - 99.999.
Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...
