[Trigger] Randomizing problem (Random Hero selection, AoS Map)

[Andy011]

So yeah, I've been having trouble with a trigger-made random selection system in an AoS map I've been making.

I'm not at my computer currently, so I won't be able to write up a whole GUI trigger here accurately without reference of the editor itself. But yeah, it's still pretty clear.

• Random P1
  • Events
    • Game - Player1(Red) types message -random
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • SetVar HeroGroupAlliance[1]=Alleria
    • SetVar HeroGroupAlliance[2]=Turalyon
    • SetVar HeroGroupAlliance[3]=Danath
    • SetVar HeroGroupAlliance[4]=Khadgar
    • SetVar HeroGroupAlliance[5]=Kurdran
    • SetVar HeroGroupAlliance[6]=Lothar
    • Unit - Create 1 HerogroupAlliance[Random number between 1 and 6] for Player1(Red) at Center of HumanTavern <gen> facing 90.00 deg

Note: HeroGroupAlliance is not a unit group, but a unit-type var.

In case anyone is wondering, when they appear at the tavern region where they would be bought, it would make the buyer (a peasant in this case) die and then the Hero would be teleported to the base.

But here's the thing: it picks a random number and it stays with that number, causing me to always pick a Khadgar, for example. So it just grabs a number and sticks with it instead of grabbing another random number again.

Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?

It's the same problem like always. You've tested it from the editor, right? Go to "File - Preferences" (if I'm correct) and turn of "use fixed random seed" or something like this. The editor uses those fixed random values, ingame they work correct.

go to file -> preferneces -> test map -> [uncheck] use fixed random seed

oops.. there was somebody faster than me :/

Ah, I see now.

Thanks guys, +rep to both.
