Function is supposed to be random but is not?

[TFlanigan (teef)]

so i made a function that spawns an npc and rolls a random weapon for it, but i noticed that every time all npcs had the same weapon and they all spawned in the same location. so i added a math random to the function for debugging purposes, and for some reason the number is always the same? why is this happening? ive never had this happen to me before

instead of
math.random(x,y)
try

local generator = Random.new()
local randomNum = generator:NextNumber(x, y)

you will need to change the seed because you’re restarting the variable each time so add this before local randomnum = math.random(1,599) :

math.randomseed(os.time())
local randomnum = math.random(1,599)

added it on top of the function and i am still getting the same values every time

Try what jamey said i’m not entirely sure about this issue
