[Solved] Math.Random is not so random

Question

Instead of computing the random damage value only once at the beginning of your script, compute them whenever you need them. That would probably be in your attack function.

Maybe you are misunderstand something here: Math.random doesn’t return some special magical value which changes every time it’s read. It returns a number and that number doesn’t change.

If you want multiple random values, you have to call Math.random multiple times. If you want a different random value whenever the goblin attacks, you have to call Math.random when it attacks.
