I tested this 10 times and all of 10 times it got me this numbers:
10 10 8 7 6 8 8 7 6 1
Please check and tell me how can I solve this?

Uncheck "Use Fixed Random Seed" in File -> Preferences... -> Test Map tab

Oh, Thanks really.
But a question: How this option help us?
I say, what's its use?

The game generates a random number and doesn't change. Not sure why anyone would want to do for the majority of the time.

Really? What did you expect to happen? The game does what you told it to do. If you are expecting to generate a random number between x and y and that number can't be repeated more than once then that's a completely different story.

I'm pretty sure most technology doesn't use "true randomness" because it's extremely difficult to recreate. Games like Wc3 use other means to create RNG. You can google around for more information on the topic because I don't really know the details.

Anyway, it's hard to see a use for "Uses Fixed Random Seed". Maybe when working on RNG skills like a triggered "Chance to Bash" for example. You could guarantee when the Bash will occur if you use a fixed seed since your tests will always give the same results. That could be useful for bug testing.

That being said you probably want to turn "Uses Fixed Seed" off.
