Random/True Random

FreshlyMinted

So I'm trying to get random numbers but I'm having trouble. How do most people go about this. Is there a random seed change command? is there a way to set up a global game timer that you can mod?

game.Time is the game timer.

Using the modulo function, you might be able to create something more random... if the following formula is used at random intervals.

floor(game.Time%2)

That's mentioned in the math section of the Unofficial GameSalad Textbook. That's for a coin toss. It's in the part of the book where I explain how "Modulo" works. Even after knowing more about it, I still think it's a name for a comic book super villain.

It can be modified to simulate the roll of a die...
ceil((game.Time*1000)%6)

But if you use it twice in a row...
ceil((game.Time*1000)%6)
ceil((game.Time*1000)%6)

You get the same number twice.
