Here is one way to do it (in text, I'm too lazy to do scripts):

1. Create a list variable called MyList
2. Create a regular variable called MyValue
3. Create a regluar variable called MyIndex

This script will set up your list:

When Flag Pressed
Delete All of MyList
Set MyValue to 1
Repeat 10 times-----------
| Add MyValue to MyList
| Change MyValue by 1
----------------------------------

This script should be called when you want a number:

When GetANumber is received
Set MyIndex to Random 1 to Length of MyList
Set MyValue to Item MyIndex of MyList
Delete item MyIndex of MyList

At this point, the variable MyValue has a random value from 1 to 10.  You can call it 10 times and never get a repeat.

This is exactly how I handle a deck of cards in all of my various card games.

Hope this helps.

Too put it in block terms:
<when green flag clicked>
[delete all of [My List]]
<set{ My value }to( 1
<repeat( 10
[add (My Value) to [My List]]
<change{ My Value }by( 1
<end>

<when I receive[ Get A Number
<set{ My Index }to( <pick random( 1 )to( length of [My List]
<set{ My Value }to( item (My Index) of [My List]
[Delete (My Index) of [My List)]

Hmm...

[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
[Delete all of List]
<repeat( 10 )>
<set{ Number }to( <pick random( 1 )to( 10 )>
<if>[List contains <{ Number }> ]
(Keep blank here.)
<else>
[Add <{ Number }> to List]
<end>
[/blocks]

Hope that helps... I'll post a project later.

magnie is there a way i can send you this project so you can fix the issue i'm having. basically what i want is to have 10 questions appear in a random order each time you retry it. I have everything already finished and the questions are a different sprite and they correspond to a number from 1 to 10. I'm not an expert on scratch so I'm pretty sure you won't have trouble understanding the codes I wrote for this project. Please can you help me or anyone else who wants to have a look through at my project, give me your email address. please i am desperate. 

Ok i'll post it

Here you go: Just download it and see if you can do it.

Lol, you can take all the time you want. I really hope your post doesn't contain this message: "I couldn't do it, sorry", lol anyway just do your best, your projects are impressive btw.

Knowing the answers would actually help a lot, all I need to do is test it a few times and it's ready. 

Lol thanks!

One thing if you haven't noticed there are codes in the background(stage) sprite also. Those codes are pretty important. They have the answers set out in numbers, A= 1, B=2..etc I think if you have the questions in random order then you have to find a way to have the answers follow the right questions.

It would be great if it was done by sunday, but monday however will lead to my death. Unfortunately, it needs to be done before monday, if you can finish in sunday you will still be awesome.

ohh so close, but unfortunately the answers aren't matching with the questions. even when i answer it right it says wrong. I might just get rid of the whole "the correct answer is..." to make it simpler. Your help would be nice also, even on monday.

Hopefully my modified version of Magnie’s project based on your project is what you want.

The fonts are not the same as your original project but keeping fonts the same between re-mixed projects appears to be a problem in Scratch.
