How does random system work?

I used a random function, it goes random alright but it seemed that it made a special pattern...

Just a question out of curiosity...

What do you mean by random function?

Basically, for a random hero, you make a unit array (size being the amount of heroes in your map), and then when (this is triggered) someone types -random, give them RandomHero[Random integer number between 1 and Total number of heroes]

I mean, all random using. For example when you use a random real between 0.65 and 1.35, it may be the same several times. SO I thought it must hold the same pattern. is there any? Because it become annoying to get the same number again and again for some conditions.

im done with it...

the problem is say for instance i got 3 units that'll damage the target unit in random, and i store the target's action in the variable.

First turn : target action code 1
Unit 1 deals 50 damage
Unit 2 deals 60 damage
Unit 3 deals 40 damage


Second turn : target action code 1
Unit 1 deals 50 damage
Unit 2 deals 60 damage
Unit 3 deals 40 damage


Third turn : target action code 2
Unit 1 deals 30 damage
Unit 2 deals 40 damage
Unit 3 deals 70 damage

Fourth turn : target action code 2
Unit 1 deals 30 damage
Unit 2 deals 40 damage
Unit 3 deals 70 damage

something like that... so if i don't take any code changing the "random" value won't be random...
