How do I use Random.new()?

Seriously, I’ve read the wiki and I still don’t know how to use it. Anyone can help me out?

#2

Random.new() creates a generator. To use it, use its assigned variable’s functions like RandomObject:NextInteger(), for instance.

Like this?

local gen = Random.new()
gen:NextInteger()
#4

Yes, that’s exactly how it is supposed to be used. If you print the second line, you’ll get a random number based on the number you put as the first argument.

Okay, so I heard that this is better than math.random()?

#6

Sounded like a micro-optimization. It’s the same algorithm and does not alter performance too drastically.

#7

Okay, I wanna know what do the rest of these functions does? They looked almost the same.

Not exactly sure what they do, but you can probably try to print them. I think they will include decimals, unlike integers. Integers will never include decimals.

Right, thanks for the support.
