Random Point in Region is always the same

[SpasMaster]

Hello, guys. I got another weird issue I ran into.
I have this "tower" that shoots all the way at the enemy base, but at a random point. However, it seems to always shoot at the same place. Here is the trigger:

Hidden

[trigger=""]Artilleries
Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Artillery
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit))) Less than 5
Then - Actions
Set Artillery_Point = (Random point in East Base <gen>)
Else - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit))) Greater than 5
Then - Actions
Set Artillery_Point = (Random point in West Base <gen>)
Else - Actions
Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Attack Ground Artillery_Point
Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Artillery_Point)
[/trigger]

File -> Preferences -> Test Map -> Checkbox "Use Fixed Random Seed"

uncheck that.

Did that before posting this thread. Doesn't help. :/

Once it starts attack ground on a point, it will keep hitting that point, so your trigger will never run again.

What you need to do is to "reset" the tower. After a short delay, simply order the tower to stop. It will then re-acquire a target and attack a new random location.

Set the tower to a local unit variable, wait 1 second, order unit to stop.

Works flawlessly. Thanks. Posting the trigger in case someone needs it:

According to this a local is not needed.
