Math.random reusing same values?

[selimanac]

You have to throw away the first one or two random numbers.

Lua math.random problem

Ah, I see. Well, hmm, if you throw away the first one or two random numbers you start to get the kind of variation that is to be expected: -- os.time() seems to work equally well math.randomseed(socket.gettime()) math.random() math.random() print(math.random(1,3)) Not optimal. Perhaps we can deal with this better internally in the engine…

math.randomseed(socket.gettime()) 
math.random() 
math.random()
