I'm trying to make a script that randomly picks between 3 sprites, but the “Pick random from _ to _” block keeps choosing the same number every time.

It picks one of the numbers and continues to choose that number whenever I restart the project.

Could you please post your project link here? Your code should work fine as it is.

(comment helpful things here)

The problem is unlikely to be the “pick random” block itself. You can be pretty sure it is picking a random number 1-3 every time it is run.

The problem will be some other aspect.

It's hard to say what without seeing the actual code. But e.g.:

(1) What is resetting the Sprite1, Sprite2, Sprite3, variables? If they are all already set to 1 the code above doesn't really do anything.

(2) Do you have another green flag script? Bear in mind that you can't really control the order in which green flag scripts are run.

Incidentally, depending on what else is in your code, the forever loop may be unnecessary (and inefficient).

this code makes it so it never pickes the same sprite 2 times in a row

Hi, please, explain clearly that whst you want to achieve…
Greets

have the set hing to random thing inside the forever thing

Thank you! I will post the project link for those who wish to know more information.

I won't change any scripts until I've gotten a for sure answer.

The people picker sprite has all the script I included in this post as well as the Abby, Dani, and Dee sprites.

I may have already found a solution but I haven't changed any scripts just to be sure.

I have found a solution! I got rid of useless variables, and the “pick random” block works as intended now!

Here I have gotten rid of the forever script and put the individual sprite scripts below into each sprite based on their number.

Thank you all so much for your help!
