So I'm trying to use math.random() to generate a different random number for each player when they load into the game

wait(5)
math.randomseed(game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:wait())

rando = math.random(0,100)
if rando > 50 then
	script.Parent.Value = "Thing1"
elseif rando < 50 then
	script.Parent.Value = "Thing2"
end

I put this inside a script inside a string value. I am trying to generate a 1/2 chance. However just about all players get the same value everytime. I think it has to do with the seed since its the same seed for every player, since all the random numbers are generated at once. I tried using tick(), but since a random number is generated for each player at the same time, each seed is the same. Any ideas?

the "math.randomseed" above was something from another post on the roblox forums that suggested it.

randomseed uses the same generation algorithm as the Random object now -- so, there's not really any need for tick(); if you feel like everyone is getting the same value, maybe try the Random class since it takes double seed. [https://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Random]
