Damn numbers ..

[Hartza]

How do I tell in script
number less than 1 ( my guess <1 )
number is bigger or equal to 1 but lesser than 2 ( my guess ?)
Number is equal or bigger than 2 (my guess >=2)

How to tell that ?
 

[Messiah]

less than: <#

more than: >#

less or equal: <=#

more or equal: >=#

dunno about inbetween numbers

:thumbsup:

[Hartza]

damn,

that "between numbers" is bugging me ...

[Black_Feather]

inbetween

>= # && <=#

[Bremmer]

Try using:

num <= # && num >= #

Slightly longer than proper scientific notation, but still not too clumsy.

okay ...
can somebody tell me how to define random number as whole numbers ?

I gaves numbers like 1.001 or 1.989 ...
how do I conver these like 1 and 2 ...  

[Marksman]

In between numbers, just use boolean logic

e.g.

ANDs, ORs etc.

So for example:

"A is less than 10 and B is greater than 10"

would be

(A<10 && B>10)

or

(A<10 && 10<B)

where && stands for 'AND'

~~~~

"A is less than 10 or B is less than 10" would be:

(A<10 || B<10)

where || stands for OR
(the key for '|' is the backslash one next to 'z'. Just press shift then the backslah key)

I think you can also just use

(A<10 AND B<10)
(A<10 OR B<10)

Not sure though

Hope this helps,

Edit: lol, looks like you got 3 answers for the price of one!!

no luck, :error unknown operator ...

[Black_Feather]

_number = Random 10
? ((_number mod 1) >= 0.5): _number = _number + 1
_number = _number - (_number mod 1)

[Hartza]

I have 3 variables ( 1,2,3 ) which are true depending random number.
Problem is that random operator gives number like 1.001 or 1.999.
If random number gives something like 1.999, it is not true because it is not 1 nor 2 ...

So, my script wont work ...

[Marksman]

Which command gives you an unknown operator?

the 'AND' and 'OR'

or the '&&' and '||'

[Black_Feather]

_number = Random 2
? ((_number mod 1) >= 0.5): _number = _number + 1
_number = _number - (_number mod 1)

then use

? _number == 0 :dosomething
? _number == 1 :dosomething
? _number == 2 :dosomething

[Hartza]

>=1 and <=2   = invalid number of expression

[Marksman]

Do something like:

?(RandomNumber >= 1 && RandomNumber < 1.5):MyVariable1 = TRUE

?(RandomNumber >= 1.5 && RandomNumber < 2):MyVariable2 = TRUE


etc..

Where ? stands for 'if'

Ok, this seems to be working version of my script  :thumbsup:

Here is short description what I was doing, If anybody happens to be interested ...

This script designates an route to vehicle called Ural, depending if vehicle named bmp is destoyed or not.
If bmp is destroyed, ural picks randomly one of the three alternative routes. This Normal route is Urals waypoint route and these Alternative routes are made with GameLocig and triggers with ural domove getpos commands.
In english, if bmp in not destroyed, ural will follow it (Normal route), but if bmp is destroyed, ural will pick an other route (Alternative route)...

Activation in game:
Trigger vith East present
OnActivation: [] exec "ural_route.sqs"
__________________________
ural_route.sqs

_number= random 3
#loop
~1
? ((_number mod 1) >= 0.5): _number = _number + 1
_number = _number - (_number mod 1)
TitleText [format["Normal route"],"plain"]
?!(alive bmp):goto "destroyed"
goto "loop"
#destroyed
?(_number >= 0 && _number < 0.9):ural domove getpos move1;TitleText [format["Alternative route 1 )",_number],"plain"]

?(_number >= 1.0 && _number < 1.9):ural domove getpos move2;TitleText [format["Alternative route 2 )",_number],"plain"]
?(_number >= 2.0 && _number < 3):ural domove getpos move5;TitleText [format["Alternative route 3 )",_number],"plain"]
exit

If ýou like see how it works , I can send you an mission by email...

Thanks guys for helping me with this, especially you Black_Feather   :wave:
