    • Set rock[2] = Rock Chunks 22859 <gen>
    • Set rock[3] = Rock Chunks 22858 <gen>
    • Set rock[4] = Rock Chunks 22856 <gen>
    • Set rock[5] = Rock Chunks 22859 <gen>
    • Set rock[6] = Rock Chunks 22858 <gen>
    • Set rock[7] = Rock Chunks 22856 <gen>
    • Set rock[8] = Rock Chunks 22859 <gen>
    • Set rock[9] = Rock Chunks 22858 <gen>
    • Set rock[10] = Rock Chunks 22856 <gen>
    • Set rock[11] = Rock Chunks 22859 <gen>
    • Set rock[12] = Rock Chunks 22858 <gen>
    • Destructible - Kill rock[(Random integer number between 1 and 12)]

so thats how my trigger with rock looks but the problem is that always rock 22858 gets killed.Its not random at all. I fristly had only three numbers in this trigger rock(1) rock(2) rock (3) my friend gave me idea to create more rock arrays but it still didnt help. I only noticed that other rock gets killed when i press button to restart game then it works normal and a random rock gets killed. But whenever i press altr+f4 run warcraft 3 again only rock 22858 is killed. My map is meant to be played on multiplayer so i cant press there restart game button to kill random rock
and also guy told me to go in editor file preferences and uncheck value use random seed. But i had this value alreday unticked so thats not the problem. Any idea what to do







Second question.My map has a few cut scenes but they are played only for a few players while rest of players can see all mini map when the cut scenes are played.Any idea how to fix it? thats example how my trigger with cut scenes looks

• Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for AraLegoGimli

that line is causing trouble for your rock problem. Try disabling that trigger to see if that works for you.

Ugh but i dont Understant. . . Rock trigger and this are 2 diff things. And rock trigger happens frist before cinematic. + Its not logical for me to rock dont work because of cinematic . I asked u about 2 different questions so i didnt have to create 2 threads

Actually I read the function in more detail and it seems like CinematicModeExBJ() does this exact thing I suggested. So this may or may not actually be relevant:

Hidden

• Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for AraLegoGimli

that line is causing trouble for your rock problem. Try disabling that trigger to see if that works for you.

To clarify, Aeryn is correct here that this line is the problem. It has a SetRandomSeed(0) call in it and then the function later uses another SetRandomSeed(GetRandomInt(...)) call that, because the seed was previously set to 0, always gives the same exact 'new' random seed. So even if you have 'fixed seed' disabled in your WE it will always 'become' fixed after using that cinematic mode function. You can kind of fix it by doing something like this:

• Set SEED_INT = Random Integer from 1 to 99999 //make the upper bounds as high as you can
• Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for AraLegoGimli
• ...
• Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode Off for AraLegoGimli
• Custom script: call SetRandomSeed(udg_SEED_INT) //change variable name to match yours, but keep the udg_ prefix

Instead of that I would say probably just don't use the Test Map function and it will always correctly be random. Test Map has always been weird in the WE. If restarting the map from within wc3 already gives a proper random seed then it will be properly random playing on LAN or Bnet.
