How to generate random numbers with a seed? [SOLVED]

[Raika]

I'm creating multiplayer game with big world. To create objects in game i'm using basic action Random int like that: starting from 0,0 add RanX(2-10) and RanY(0-4 reset Y on object add), when X go 3000, reset X to 0 and add 5 to Y. I don't wanna send this all information thru web because bandwidth limit, I would like to send only seed.

Is it possible to generate numbers in this way using a seed?

Hi,
I made a action for you to set the seed.

First you would need to do a random int to get a seed nr,

Then you can use the action i made to set the seed (attached below)

I tested it a bit and it seems to work, can you confirm if it works, i can place it on the ecosystem then.

I can see only ecosystem link, can you post once more?

Thanks for help Everything works, if i manage to break something i will contact you on priv.

You can add to description something like that: This action has impact on all FSM but any other random action will pick NEXT number from pool, Call second time to reset.

Hello,

Sorry for posting on an old thread, but I have a question. The action works great and even remembers seeds once the game is powered off, but if I clear player prefs, the same seed results in a different game world. How can I make it so it is consistent for different players playing it regardless of deleting save file. Thanks!

Hi,

unfortunatly, you can't, unless the values are hardcoded inside your project and built with these.

if the user saves a different value, it will be saved in the playerprefs, and deleting the prefs makes it unrecoverable. you could save data online on a server, then if you have a user management system you can recover data even of the user plays on a new phone or has deleted and reinstalled.

Bye,

Jean

Hello,
I know I said I figured this out, but I started a new project and I can't seem to figure out how to get the seed to visually show on the screen with tiles (I tried to look in the old project, but it wasn't there so I couldn't use it for reference). Could I have step by step instructions of how to do this please? Also, the tiles will be changing during gameplay. If I create a new seed every frame, will it work to have the most up to date version of the tiles?

Thanks!
