Randomizer has a fixed sequence? (images)
Aight, so i have made this image randomiser which will display a random image when you click this button;
math.randomseed(tick(1))
local Ids = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild('Banner1'):GetChildren() local Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent local Background = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild('Background') local RImage = Background:WaitForChild('RandomImage') local RText = Background:WaitForChild('RandomText') local Randomized = false local Requirement = 10
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() if Randomized == false and Player.extra.DragonStones.Value >= Requirement then Randomized = true Player.extra.DragonStones.Value = Player.extra.DragonStones.Value - Requirement local ID = Ids[math.random(2, #Ids)] Background.Visible = true RImage.Image = ID.Texture RText.Text = "You have summoned "..ID.Name wait(5) Background.Visible = false Randomized = false end end)
But when I click randomize, it always outputs with the same sequence of images, going from Tree>Tree>Doll>Ghost EACH time.? Help pls?

This is because the math.random function is only psuedo random. the seed is a random number that creates a list of random numbers afterward, so if the have the same the seed every time the numbers created will always be the same.
if you want to create a better randomizer try doing
math.randomseed(os.time())
this takes the current time and uses that as the seed so it is always different.
let me know if this helps
