Slow/duplicate random number generation

Questions about Thunkable
1

If I generate a random number when a screen starts, it seems to generate one number first and then immediately generate a second number.

You can see this in the simple project I created:

https://x.thunkable.com/copy/df3abda9fbdaf98d41ab32f29d98216c

If you tap the button, you don’t see the effect but if you start the screen, it slowly generates two numbers instead of one.

In the video, I open Thunkable Live with 90 showing. As the screen “starts,” it generates a random number but displays 49 and then 80. I then tap the button to generate the next random number and it displays 71.

Was this just an issue with live testing @tatiang?

I wonder if you had duplicate event handlers here somewhere?

@domhnallohanlon This is the project:

It doesn’t seem to be doing the duplicate number generation any more. I changed the display so it adds the next number onto the label’s text string.

Thanks @tatiang, Just looking at your example now, it’s behaving differently to the example in your video. I’m seeing a strong of random numbers, and a new number is added to the end each time the button is pressed.

Is everything working ok for you now?
