Can someone tell me why this random number always generate the max number when I put it in this order. When I put QR_PackTargetPlaceRandomizer under condition 'QG_QuestDialogButtonClicked' or
'QG_Person[2] has buff Quest Indicator' it always generate the max number (3).

This problem doesn't make sense for me.

But when I put QR_PackTargetPlaceRandomizer below action 'QG_Person[2]' it generates random number properly (1 ~ 3)

        • Then - Actions
          • Set QG_QuestDialogButtonClicked = 9
        • Else - Actions

Note: Don't mind the point leaks this is just a trigger from a test map I can fix it later.

World Editor defaults to fixed seed (same RNG output sequence) when testing maps.
Click to expand...

I have Preference > Test Map > Use Fixed Random Seed disabled.

Additionally enabling cinematic mode will also set RNG seed to a consistent value until disabled.

Sooo maybe this is the reason why. I've been testing this for 4 hours just to realize this is a thing.

Thanks DSG. :)

This is needed so that cinematics are reliable as the results of every action are consistent. It would have been silly if the campaign cinematics could be messed up by bad RNG rolls causing key heroes and units to appear to die during them.
