Hi!
ecd->math->Rand(-1,1)
always gives the same number. How to randomise it for smart devices? srand() or something else?

Hi Ryumaster,
Have you tried SetRandSeed? Find more info here:

Hi Ryumaster,
Unfortunately, it's not possible to generate negative random numbers yet. That's why the function is returning the wrong values. A quick workaround is to generate a positive number, and subtract a value from it to make it negative.
Generating negative numbers will be possible in the upcoming EDGELIB version which is to be released very soon.
