Maths - Random Number doesn't work!

[AtleriK]

At least not in my map, I've made the following trigger: (It's the triggers for random hero selection)

Events
Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -random as An exact match

Conditions
(Player 3 (Teal) Food used) Equal to 0

Actions
Set RandomHeroP3 = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)

Then after that, I've run a "if allconditions are true then, else actions" 1 number for each hero.
But when I test this, the trigger always sets the variable to 5 and I get the same hero over and over again, I've tested it like 5 times.

Really vexing :x

Do you know what a random number seed is? Random numbers on a computer are predictable if you use the same seed.

If you use the Test Map option instead of actually starting your map from within War3, the map editor will force the same seed to be used everytime.

You can either uncheck the option"Fixed Random Seed" or you can test your map from within War3 instead of using Test Map.

Yeah that's it. Go to file->preferences and there uncheck that FixedRandom. It caused me problems too unitl i finally found it. (for example in my InstaGib map it always used the same model for the enemy, and the same start location for both of us, tho it was random.)

Thanks! I'll try that
