Bug in math.random?

[wx3]

math.random(7) seems to be returning values from 0 to 7 (should return from 1-7). Is this a known bug?

I'm on version 1.7.7.2.

Hi,

Yes, that appears to be a bug in LuaInterpreter. I'll fix it in versions 1.8.6 and 2.0.5. I'm going to be traveling next week, which will delay 1.8.6 until the week after. I'll still be providing support through email and the forum, but development will be on hold next week.

Oh, this could explain some bugs we had in the past.

This is fixed for version 2.x in patch 2018-09-09. (PM me your Asset Store invoice number if you need access.)
