A common way to seed a random value is to use the system time.
You could do this with a C# component buy using the following code.
A = System.DateTime.Now.Second;
In the code block, assuming A is one of the output names. Plug the A
output of the C# block into the seed value of the random number
generator. This uses the current second of the system time as the seed
value when the definition is run.

Then use the current Second of the current time as the seed.
