What is an alternative to to math.randomseed that changes faster than math.randomseed(tick())?
I'm trying to move a textbox to random positions in a frame, and I tried this and no luck.
1 | math.randomseed(os.time()) |
2 | while wait() do |
3 | wait(0.1) |
4 | script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(math.random(0.068,0.010),0,math.random(0.020,0.01),0) |
5 | wait(0.1) |
6 | end |

what are all these math.random posts.... so consuming... anywho, this doesnt look right in any shape, imagine trying to do "vector3.new(10,10,10)+6" like how would that work.... also use the output, there are tools given for a reason greatneil80 2647 — 4y

Okay bro, math.random(a,b) returns an integer value.
So fix the code like this:
1 | math.randomseed(os.time()) |
2 | while wait() do |
3 | wait(0.1) |
4 | script.Parent.Position = UDim2.new(math.random(10,68)/1000,0,math.random(10,20)/1000,0) |
5 | wait(0.1) |
6 | end |
If you want a more precise method then:
01 | function rand(a,b,precision) |
02 | precision = 10^precision |
03 | local w = 1 |
04 | local function che(x,weight) |
05 | return math.floor(x*(10^weight)) == x*(10^weight) |
06 | end |
07 | if che(a,w) and che(b,w) then |
08 | --calculate precision |
09 | return math.random(a*precision,b*precision)/precision |
10 | else |
11 | repeat |
12 | w = w + 1 |
13 | until che(a,w) and che(b,w) |
14 | local p = 10^w |
15 | a = a * p |

With precision before the dot! HOORAY!
P.S. Using my rand method is more flexible then hard coding. :winks:
