I have several guard spawners and several ai patrol paths with the same order number.
What i expect to happen is that each individual guard spawner chooses its own path at random since the path order number is the same.
BUT:
All guard spawners spawn at the same ai path using the same random selection. Like, there is some randomness happening, since they spawn at different paths each game start. But they are all spawning at the same one at once. That is definetly not randomly chosen by each individual spawner.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
AI
Steps to Reproduce
Place 5 guard spawners with path group 1
Place 5 ai path devices using path group one and order number 1
Expected Result
All guard spawners choose individually what path to spawn on. Spawning on different paths of the same group and order.
Observed Result
All guard spawners alwayd choose the same path together. They choose a different path each round, but they all choose the same together.
I found the setting where they dont spawn all at the same path. Tbh, that was quite annoying to understand and poorly documented. But that is a different story.
BUT!
you cannot tell me that this is supposed to be properly randomized when i get 5 times in a row almost the same mix of 20 spawns every game start. There must be a seeding issue or something.
I have proof!
The following images show how 5 sequential game starts produced basically the same random distribution over 4 spawn paths. You can clearly see similarities in the image and see that the second and third spawn location were preferred every time.
Now i tested a setup where i can see the randomness while traversion multiple paths.
1 spawner spawns 20ai at group 3
upon reaching the second node of 3 the move onto group 2
there are three group 2 nodes each with sorting nr 1.
expectation: every ai choses its own path
reality: they all choose the same. might be different each round as seen on the image, but they all go to the same
I have also tried to trigger multiple path choices with this setup that circles around the same 3way crossing. but two different spawners always take the same path per game start and never change their choice when it comes to the crossing.
