Legacy GM The seed

[zendraw]

so im saving the seed random_get_seed(); and i load the game, and it generates the way it previously did, when i saved the seed. but if i re generate again, without reseting the room or the game, it generates differently. is there a way to generate the same old things no matter how meny times i re generate them? like lets say you have a seeries of 16 blocks in a roll that get generated once y>128, i want to generate the same variation of blocks in a roll every time i pass the y>128 border. without reseting, or is it not possible without reset?

PS: also another question if any1 knows, what is random_use_old_version(flag);? what is the difference betwean using old version and new one?

If you want the same result to occur by using random() multiple times, you have to use random_get_seed() every time you want that action to occur.

yes i save and load the seed. but if i trigger the generation again, without reseting the game it gives me diffrent resaults.

After retrieving the seed and saving it (for example maybe the seed value is 42), you need to "set" the seed once again before calling any random functions: for example, random_set_seed(42). After that, the random value sequence should be the same as what you had before.

yes, setting the seed before the random gen seems to do the trick. i will haev to work more on the method.
