Random.NextInt return same value everytime

Hi guys, I got a problem with generating random int number, it returns same value everytime, here is the code

Code (CSharp):

1. using Random = Unity.Mathematics.Random;
2. private Random randomGenerator;
3. protected override void OnStartRunning(){
4.             randomGenerator = new Random();
5.             randomGenerator.InitState();
6. }
7.  
8. private void someFunction(){
9.             int randomStartX = randomGenerator.NextInt(1, worldCreator.width -1);
10.             int randomStartY = randomGenerator.NextInt(1,
11.             worldCreator.height -1);
12. }
13.  

randomStartX and randomStartY always return 7 and 7 everytime, I don't know why.
Thanks.

 

You need to seed the random based on a value that will be different every time you initialise it.
eg:

Code (CSharp):

1. random = new Random((uint)System.DateTime.Now.Millisecond);

 

Thanks, it is working

 

Given example is not great for seeding, though, as .Millisecond will always be [0, 999]

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime.millisecond?view=net-5.0

Which is not a great seed and will even throw an exception anytime it happens to be 0.

Better to use .Ticks or some scaled value of it.

 

Thanks, I'm now using this DateTime.Now.Ticks
