for i = 1,1000 do
local idforram = math.random(1,500)
print(idforram)
end
It always prints 1 or 2, i ran it like 1000 times, and it prints only 1 and 2

ahem it seems like your blind or something but
for i = 1,1000 do
local idforram = math.random(1,500)
print(id) -- idforam but using id?
end
solution:
for i = 1,1000 do
local idforram = math.random(1,500)
print(idforram)
end
Its idforram right
yes it is… obviously… I think you would be better off as a modeler. but oh well WHO AM I TO JUDGE?
What are you speaking hm
I am asking why is math.random(1,1000) always return 1 or 2
I’m running the exact same code in the terminal, and it seems to print random numbers:

You might have to change the randomseed or reboot your system

because you arent printing the correct variable man you typed in the print statement id but the math.random(1,1000) is in the variable called idforram replace the print statement having id with idforram
nope bloxxy as he updated the code a while ago at first is was
for i = 1,1000 do
local idforram = math.random(1,500)
print(id) -- idforam but using id?
end
probably because id is a variable in your script which you didnt show us.

Hm I typed that manually but in my code, it is idforram I immediately corrected it when I saw I typed wrong in the post, and now its still printing(1 or 2)
Oh, actually I don’t know what is randomseed can u explain please
no no, its only that, 4 line code, nothing other than that
ah it makes sense now honestly though it worked fine for me. try changing the script like putting it in a new script or try running the code in the command bar.
it still gives me 1 or 2
Using math.randomseed you can change the seed for the random number generator (RNG). You can try to set it to os.time() before the for loop.
You can also use the newer Random object using this code:
local RNG = Random.new(os.time()) -- the only argument given is the seed
for i = 1,1000 do
local idforram = RNG:NextInteger(1, 500)
print(idforram)
end

It still prints 1, now its not printing 2, only 1
1 (x1000)
It is something like this in output
Are you running it in the studio terminal? Did you change anything in the script, which may change the idforram value?
I rebooted my laptop, and run it in game, and in studio, they both print same number
In game I check dev console and it prints 1 only
this weird bug started to come after this random thing appeared
can you explain what is a seed to a random.new() function? is it like the maximum number for the random number generator?
I’m not sure what’s the problem, it seems to work fine for me in all cases
That’s for building, it being added should not cause any effects for random number generators
In computer science, a seed is a starting point used by a random number generator (RNG) to generate a sequence of repetable, random numbers. Once the seed is set, the RNG produces a sequence of numbers that appear to be random, but are actually determined by the algorithm and the seed value.
