No Evil random_seed returns an error.

randomize()!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH
And here I was just about to post a complaint about coding not having to be so hard. When it was just a matter of using randomize()
Thanks JM89. That solved the problem. I have to look at those 'see also' in the manual more carefully. Thanks

Dammnit, 'randomize' is he A6 version of 'random_seed'.
I had the right answer, just the wrong 3DGS version.

Thanks for the help offered.
