%random returns the same number every time
|
#SHOW %random(1,10) command shows different numbers every time I enter it, but if I define alias #ALIAS RAND1 {#SHOW %random(1,10)} zMUD always returns 7 insteat of random number.
How to solve this problem? |

I wasn't able to replicate this problem using the latest beta (6.55a). Looking through the zMUD version history doesn't show any recent changes (ie, not since 5.47) with %random so... what version of zMUD are you using?

Check the alias after it is created. Does it still contain the %random function, or was it by any chance expanded at the moment of creating the alias and it is just a number now?

It expanded to number. How do I prevent function from expanding? |

It sounds like you have the Expand Vars option on in your preferences. This option is provided for the people that want it but in practice can cause more issues (like this) than it solves. So it is off by default.
To turn it back off, do View, Preferences, General, Script Parser and uncheck Expand Vars.
That should fix the problem.
