It's non-deterministic so it's better to show a fixed value like 0 instead of
having it potentially change whenever `randomize()` is called.
Fixes #43317.

RandomNumberGenerator is a class for generating pseudo-random numbers. It currently uses [url=http://www.pcg-random.org/]PCG32[/url].
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] The underlying algorithm is an implementation detail. As a result, it should not be depended upon for reproducible random streams across Godot versions.
|
|
To generate a random float number (within a given range) based on a time-dependant seed:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var rng = RandomNumberGenerator.new()
|
|
func _ready():
|
|
rng.randomize()
|
|
var my_random_number = rng.randf_range(-10.0, 10.0)
|
|
[/codeblock]

The seed used by the random number generator. A given seed will give a reproducible sequence of pseudo-random numbers.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] The RNG does not have an avalanche effect, and can output similar random streams given similar seeds. Consider using a hash function to improve your seed quality if they're sourced externally.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] The default value of this property is pseudo-random, and changes when calling [method randomize]. The [code]0[/code] value documented here is a placeholder, and not the actual default seed.
