Hey!

Was just wondering whether there's any plans to have a dedicated seed system inside of Stencyl? As in, if I wanted to create a random generated spawn pattern based on the date which would play the same on every persons' version (But still give the appearance of randomness). From folks using other engines and tools, I've been told that Stencyl will likely have a default number that can be changed, but it isn't accessible in the palette (And were confused how it wasn't already integrated).

Hope you can help, appreciate the work you're all doing!

Wondering if there's an update on this? Was hoping to get this implemented for the first update for SHUMP. Thanks!

There's an extension that can grab the current timestamp and you could use that as your seed.  It's not clear to me what Stencyl could have that would help since the seed algorithm is created by devs and is different from game to game.
