call math.randomseed |
|
|
I can't see what's the cause, but in 94.1.1-1014 this bug is still present (even though it has math.randomseed). |
|
|
math.randomseed(os.time()) doesn't work for me, but this does: for i = 1, tonumber(os.date("%S")) do math.random() end not sure whats the cause. related to https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/develop/rts/lib/lua/include/luaconf.h#L513 ? in cont/base/springcontent/LuaIntro/Addons/bg_texture.lua does always return 6 for me: math.randomseed(os.time()) Spring.Echo(math.random(10)) |
|
|
also, os.time() shouldn't be used it seems: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-os.time " The returned value is a number, whose meaning depends on your system. In POSIX, Windows, and some other systems, this number counts the number of seconds since some given start time (the "epoch"). In other systems, the meaning is not specified, and the number returned by time can be used only as an argument to date and difftime. " |
|
|
does math.randomseed(os.clock()) work? |
|
|
Not for me - to me it looks a though os.time() and os.clock() work correctly byt math.randomseed(..) has no effect, regardless of what it's argument is. (I don't know why but each time a non-developer makes a comment on a thread that's set to 'feedback', mantis automatically changes to 'assigned'.) |

output of this: function widget:GameFrame(n) if (n % 400) == 0 then Spring.Echo(os.time()) end end seems to change every 2 minutes. (128 seconds?!) [f=0025200] 1377598080 [f=0025600] 1377598208 [f=0026000] 1377598208 [f=0026400] 1377598208 [f=0026800] 1377598208 [f=0027200] 1377598208 [f=0027600] 1377598208 [f=0028000] 1377598208 [f=0028400] 1377598208 [f=0028800] 1377598208 [f=0029200] 1377598336 ... is a float to small for time? |
|
|
Not sure, I think what os.time() returns is dependent on the system, but there must also be more to it because I tried math.randomseed(..) with some randomly typed seeds and still got the same loadscreen. |

@silentwings: did https://github.com/spring/spring/commit/4f102cd934eaa9c8ba77522844f106efffe6194f fix it for you? (this seems to have fixed some time issues) |
|
|
yes it works fine for me now |
