randi and rand_range do not return random number

Question

Hello,

I am trying to generate random number but the following code returns always the same numbers after every restart:

for i in range(3):
    print( randi()%8 )
#1
#1
#4

or

for i in range(3):
     print(rand_range(0, 8))
#5.668026
#7.775277
#2.76658

I tried to restart application 10 times with the same result.

Is it possible to make totally random numbers in some range?

Thank you,

Hello maer,

sounds like that you could try to call randomize() in the _ready() function, in the script, where you try to generate random numbers.

func _ready( ):
    randomize()

This should generate a new seed for the random number generator. Therefore every new run should have other numbers.

see randomize for more information
