I'm using dbTimer() as the seed, but in a loop it doesn't really change, and this is for AI but when I have like 4 enemies using their own updating methods, they all move (roughly) in sync and only the odd time they move differently from each other. How can I generate a random number in a loop?

edit: nvm, I made it so it doesn't update each AI every frame (only a random number below a certain threshold will update it, and it will also cut down cpu usage).

rand()? I know how to make the random numbers, but if the seed is too close to the other seed used, the random number will be very close as well, since it is pseudo-random

To seed the randomness, then use:

to return a random number from 0 to 1

Thats what I use.
