Math : math.randomseed()
Arguments
'math.randomseed( )
- seed (required, numeric)
A numeric value used as a seed for initializing the pseudo random generator.
Returns
This function does not return a value
Remarks
The math.randomseed function initializes the pseudo random number generator used by the math.random() function. Normally, when a script begins to execute, the generator is automatically seeded with a fixed value. This will cause the sequence of values returned to be identical each time the generator is called.
By initializing the random seed generator with a specified number, a less predictable sequence can be produced.
Requirements
- eyeonScript 5.0
- Fusion 5.0
Examples
-- sets the randomseed to a concatenation of -- date, hour, minute and second -- -- this would cause the sequence of numbers generated by -- calls to random() to be repeated only if the script -- was called at the same second of the same day of the next month
math.randomseed(os.date("%d%H%M%S"))
