How to achieve true random?
Roblox's math.random works, but it isn't really random, is there any way I can achieve true random?

I've never had any problem using math.random. What exactly are you trying to do? ScuffedAI 435 — 4y

I think I've heard people saying math.randomseed(tick()) also increases the randomizing process? killerbrenden 1537 — 4y

In order to achieve true randomization, simply use Random.new()
Random is the new way of finding completely random numbers.
using a variable for it, you can set it to use Numbers or Integers.
local var1 = Random.new() var1:NextInteger(min,max) -- gives whole numbers only var1:NextNumber(min,max) -- gives negatives,decimals,whole numbers, etc.

How great! I always used math.random and division to get decimals. EmK530 143 — 4y
