Lua [TFS 1.0] Why can't I use math.random onStartup? And how can I get a random number on startup?

[Tufte]

 function onStartup()
local i = math.random(1, 3)
end

always returns 1, why? is it because the servers timer is always the same when the script loads?

how can I get a random number into my startup script?

thanks

then try adding this at the top of the script

math.randomseed(os.time())

so it Look like this

 function onStartup()
math.randomseed(os.time())
local i = math.random(1, 3)
end

Thanks

still always 1

 

[tetra20]

is it always 1 or what?

 

[Tufte]

y, always 1. as i raise the interval, the number raises. if i go to 1,6 its always 2 and so on
