Generating random numbers in ModuleScript

hello

I have problem with ModuleScript and generated random numbers in ModuleScript
The value is constantly repeating

 local promena = {}

-- gain the last second of the current time time
local function ziskatPosledniSekunduAktualnihoCasu()
    -- Gaining the current time
    local currentTime = os.date("*t")
    -- Getting the last second
    local lastSecond = tonumber(string.sub(tostring(currentTime.sec), -1))
    return lastSecond
end

-- Function to generate random value based on current time
local function generovatNahodnouHodnotu()
    -- Getting the last second of the current time
    local lastSecond = ziskatPosledniSekunduAktualnihoCasu()
    -- Násobení poslední sekundy náhodným číslem v rozsahu od 1 do 500
    local seed = lastSecond * math.random(1, 500)
    -- Multiplication last second by random number in the range of 1 to 500
    math.randomseed(seed)
    -- Generating random value in the range of 1 to 500
    return math.random(1*lastSecond, 500*lastSecond)
end

promena.hodnota = generovatNahodnouHodnotu() -- Calling a function to generate random value

return promena

I have a question, When does Modulescipt be loaded ???

thanks in advance

You have to call the function at runtime, it’s giving you the same value because your calling the function inside of the module script

How can I call the function at runtime.
I’m more of a model and designer and from scripting I have a wind :upside_down_face:

Uh you basically have to call it in the script you wanna use the function at

That’s what I was afraid of.
I don’t even give that at all :slight_smile:

It was enough to call from Modulescript from that I moved to Replicatedstorage 

local promenaModule = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Promena)
.......
.......
.......
local function updateRandomValue()
    promenaModule.hodnota = promenaModule.generovatNahodnouHodnotu()
end
.......
.......
.......
updateRandomValue()
