  • Random Seed of Random Effector within Cloner

    Posted by Douglas Van zee on April 3, 2015 at 7:05 am

    Hey guys,

    I have a random effector that needs to be inside a cloner object but I can’t seem to get each of copies to produce a different random seed. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Effectors are not supposed be placed in cloners. What are you trying to do?

    I found a solution to my problem with an expresso tag. I built shelves with piles of gold bars on them but I wanted the number and placement to be random. I built 4 different shelves and wanted to randomise those in a cloner many times. I used the position of the cloner to drive the random seed of the same cloner and than duplicated instead of cloned those items. The expresso tag worked great.
