[Trigger] Randoming trigger.

When the trigger creates a random unit its not so random.. its the same unit for everyone, each time its a different hero.. but everyone gets the same hero.. help?

Perhaps you could explain what you were thinking when you designed the random system this way and the purpose behind each of those variables?

Set Random_Hero = (Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)
Unit - Create 1 Heroes_array[RandomData[Player_Count]] for (Player((Integer A))) at ((Player((Integer A))) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
Set RandomData[Random_Hero] = Random_Count
Set Player_Count = (Random_Count - 1)

I can tell you one thing I have noticed though. Player count is set to random_count - 1, but I do not see random_count being modified anywhere. So it could be that Heroes_array[RandomData[Player_Count]] is using the same player_count for every player except for the first one. Which might be the main reason why several players would be getting the same hero.

On another note, are you trying to avoid players getting the same type of hero when it randoms?

The Warcraft 3 randomizer is really stupid. It results the same each time you start the map it.
Example:

• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Random integer number between 1 and 10)))

It always displays 7 6 1 9 3 10 8... with me...

The system never is stupid because the stupid would be the human because simply, we created them to act like that.

1. Open World Editor
2. File
3. Preferences...
4. Test Map Tab
5. Untick the "Use Fixed Random Seed"

You're good to go.

If you want to ask "why the hell do they want to get a same value whereas the system itself if called random?"

Well, for some experimenters who wants to repeat the test, they will do it in a controlled variable, where you can easily catch a data or whatsoever.

It is really useful for experimenting with random values with a controlled situation.
