ok so i know how to make RNG but when i implent it into my game its often happening that i get the same thing in a row but i dont want that can somebody help me with this? btw heres how i make my RNG if it helps:

set RNG to: pick random 1 to 4

if RNG=1: do …

if RNG=2: do …

if RNG=3: do …

if RNG=4: do …

If you want to ensure you never get the same number twice in a row you can force that outcome in a number of ways. Here's an example -

when flag clicked
set [_rng v] to (pick random (1) to (4)) // Initialise the variable

define _rng = pick different random value // Call this to get a different number
set [_rng v] to ((((_rng) + (pick random (0) to (2))) mod (4)) + (1))

An alternative method would be -

define _rng = pick different random value // This should be a non-refresh custom block
set [_oldVal v] to (_rng)
repeat until <not <(_rng) = (_oldVal)>>
set [_rng v] to (pick random (1) to (4))

Call it from wherever you were previously creating a random number.

set [_rng v] to (pick random (1) to (4)
if <(_rng) = (1)> then
else
if <(_rng) = (2)> then
else
if <(_rng) = (3)> then
else

Becomes -

_rng = pick different random value :: custom
if <(_rng) = (1)> then
else
if <(_rng) = (2)> then
else
if <(_rng) = (3)> then
else
