what am i doing wrong with this code. It is supposed to make 50 explosions happen at random locations on the screen. Instead, it makes them all happen at the same place.This is for DBC(the resources all come with DB).

Thanks in advance

+ Code Snippet

explode:

`sync off
	r=18
	for i= 1 to 50
	randomize 12
		x=rnd(13)
		y=rnd(13)
		z=rnd(200)
		load object "explode.x",r
		position object r,x,y,50
		load 3dsound "explode.wav",i
		position sound i,x,y,50
		position listener camera position x(),camera position y(),camera position z()
		play sound i
		play object r
		r=r+1
		sync

	next i


return

randomize 12

This tells the program to constantly re-seed the random number sequence with the same value. Not good.

Try RANDOMIZE TIMER() and use it only once near the beginning of your program.

You're also loading the model and sound 50 times when you only need to load each once and clone or play as needed.

BTW, this is NOT the proper place to ask that question. Try the new comer forum.
