Hi,

Is my 3d gs buggy?? Im only trying to get a rondom number

code:



Keeps giving my the same number over and over, 404 :s

Do you have a manual ???

--> random_seed(0);

x = integer(random(10)); // returns a number between 0 and 9


right out of the manual..

if you dont use random_seed(0); or randomize(); function at least once in your app, it will always return same random number when you use same limit. this is also the case in C.

Take a closer look at the function's description.
I missed that part at first too.

Random only gives you a series of numbers in a specific order. That means that every time you restart your game... it will use the EXACT same "random" numbers in the order they were used last game.

If you want truly random numbers you first have to make the numbers used by the random-function truly random. Thats why you have to use random_seed if you want to use random numbers.

Just try it and you'll see.

Hi,

I worked for 10 years on "gambling games", and I can tell you never to use "random" compilers .. it's fake.it's joke.

but not a "random generator"

(en français, c'est de la merde)^^

looking on forums mathematician.

If you are some probleme, ask me, may be send you a real professional random generator.

I'm curious, what do you mean by "it's fake"?
Do you mean random-generators in general?

Je ne comprend pas.

Aide-moi s'il vs plait.

hi,

yes, in general..

the random generator of all compiler are bad.
never use this for a real game.

but it's my opinion...

the same problem for sin,cos,tan function.
never use. use record of sin,cos,tan etc.


regards

random_seed(0); give you a really random number. At my Game i never have the same number with random after random_seed...

what defines "good random generator"?

i mean why do you think it's bad. It generates your random number after all. all of them does that.
