Random?

[Hugos]

I created the function math.random (10, 20), but I get 10 all the time. Help please! How do I always generate different numbers?

You're in bad luck dude

It has to work.

os.time() can be replaced with getTickCount()

Did not understand a little. Can I see an example of a function that generates a random number in a range?

P.S: I use Lua random.match - https://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?Lua=math.random (not api)

It helps with randomization. And no I wouldn't mention it, if it isn't available in MTA.

 

This is all: Run on top of your script.

math.randomseed(getTickCount())

-- or

math.randomseed(getTickCount() * getTickCount())
