More Random Script

I noticed when you use Rand() function at the start of a level each time you restart the engine and load that level the result will always be the same.  Here is a little script to make it more random.  Just add it to your "update.c" script and make sure "alwaysupdate 1" is enabled in "script.txt" file.

Code: 
void main()
{//msmalik681 random++ script.

    if(openborvariant("in_menuscreen")==1) //confirm you are in menu.
	{
		int seed; //initialize seed.
		If(seed==NULL()){seed=1;} //start it off.
		seed++; //increment seed.
		srand(seed); //apply seed to random function.
	}
}
 
each time you restart the engine and load that level the result will always be the same

Indeed, because it always uses the same seed, unless you tell the engine to use another - it's how C works in fact.

But thanks for sharing.

the script on your first post may not work on some mods, the engine wants some spaces in some places & also takes issue with some capitalization.

here is how it works perfectly with NightSlashersXWide:

Code: 
void main(){
       randomise();
	void vSelf = getplayerproperty(0, "entity");
	int r = getentityproperty(vSelf, "rush_count");
	void vAniPos = getentityproperty(vSelf, "animpos");
	void vAniID = getentityproperty(vSelf,"animationID");
	void iUp = playerkeys(0, 0, "moveup");
	void iDown = playerkeys(0, 0, "movedown");
	void iLeft = playerkeys(0, 0, "moveleft");
	void iRight = playerkeys(0, 0, "moveright");
	void iAttack = playerkeys(0, 0, "attack");
	void vSelf2 = getplayerproperty(1, "entity");
	int r2 = getentityproperty(vSelf2, "rush_count");
	void vAniID2 = getentityproperty(vSelf2,"animationID");
	void vAniPos2 = getentityproperty(vSelf2, "animpos");
	void iUp2 = playerkeys(1, 0, "moveup");
	void iDown2 = playerkeys(1, 0, "movedown");
	void iLeft2 = playerkeys(1, 0, "moveleft");
	void iRight2 = playerkeys(1, 0, "moveright");
	void iAttack2 = playerkeys(1, 0, "attack");
	int time = openborvariant("elapsed_time");
	if (vAniID == openborconstant("ANI_RISE")){
		if (vAniPos == 0){
			if (iUp){
