I created a generator that creates eight sets of random numbers and then uses variables to turn them into words. When I set the entire script to repeat every two seconds (or any other time period), the first set of words is always the same. The ones that come after are not.
Does anyone know why this happens?

Use this before your math.random() or at the beginning of your script;
math.randomseed(tick())
It will change the random number printed out every time due to the tick() ever changing.
Thanks!

Can we see some code?
Are you talking about in Studio test mode? If so, it's because the test mode keeps providing the same randomseed to the scripts while in the online mode, the seed is automatically changed server to server.
@above I tried putting it into a game server, and now only one different word shows up. Tried three times now...?
