Working Randomizing Objects?

[Tiles]

I need a working randomizing. Unfortunately the default MMF randomizing is more a patternizing. And the Random Pool Object crashes too often for me.

Is there a working alternative?

[Tiles]

Found at least the point where the Randomizer Object crashes. It cannot retreive a value from a counter. Works with global values though. Or even retreiving a converted value from a string. Everything but a counter it seems. :crazy:

EDIT. Nope, crashes with GV too. But i need to define the randomness with a value. I cannot work with fixed values here. That's the Randomizer Object out :/

How about the Mersenne Twister?

(Actually, what's wrong with the MMF2 randomizing? I haven't experimented with it enough to say how random it is.)

How about the Mersenne Twister?

Perfect. Many thanks.

It's current name is MT Random Object though. So i had a few problems to find it under my extensions

The mistake with the default MMF randomness is that its randomness has its flaws: I get unexpected it self repeating patterns when using it. It's like randomizing a small area, then tile it across the rest. Useless for my needs.

The default random uses a seed which can be changed using the "Randomize" action of the special object.

Joshtek, i know, and played around with it. Changing seed didn't change anything at the result. There was always a very visible tiling. That's why i need something different

Just a note for Tiles: WHAT? I told you about Mersenne on Clickzone when you asked about a working randomizer. :P

Anyway, yes, the mmf random isn't very good, imo. I often use mersenne.

Oh, have you? :whistle:

I am an old man, you know. And from time to time, err, what did i want to say? :grin:
