[Trigger] The random function is not random

[Mcasdf]

Well, as the title says, the random function in Warcraft 3 is not random. Maybe the first time but if you replay the map it's the same value. Is there a way to make it real random?

TL;DR (and their solution sucks)

Preferences -> Test Map -> Use Fixed Random Seed

Turn it off.

Thanks Purplepoot, but what is TL;DR?

Too long; Don't read (@ that tutorial).

But be aware that true random is near impossiable for computers to obtain, however it should be good enough for you to be completly satisfied.

It doesn't happen in multiplayer, only in test map.

I know. And I didn't say anything about multiplayer

True random is not possible anywhere. Not in computers and not in this world.

But this has nothing to do with the topic, why are you going off topic on every thread you post on...

Thus what I posted was on topic, as the fact is that the random function is not random, however as far as he is concerned, it is random enough to be treated as being random as there is no way humans can predect the expected output of it at a certain time.
