[General] Repeating randomization

[Marine]

Whenever I have triggers such as creating someone in a random spot in the map, or in this particular instance, choosing a random player out of twelve as the "murderer" (this is a "who is the killer" game), the randomization always repeats itself.

By this I mean that whenever I test the same player becomes the killer each time (dark green). Every time, it is dark green. So, if anyone knows how I can prevent this from happening, please tell me (something in editor preferences, maybe?)

Otherwise, this is the trigger, in case I made a flaw:

• pick killer
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set killer = (Random player from (All players))
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Game - Display to (Player group(killer)) the text: |cffff0000You are t...
    • Wait 15.00 seconds
    • Game - Display to (Player group(killer)) the text: |cffff0000Don't rev...
    • Wait 10.00 seconds
    • Game - Display to (Player group(killer)) the text: |cffff0000Be decept...

That happens when you use the "test map" button in the world editor. So try starting the game from Warcraft 3. I had the same problem once.
