Title: Random X
Post by: marcus3 on 30 Dec 2005, 19:07:11

i have a script ( will show in post) that is supposed to make the troops have some idle talk, i want it to be so they say differnt things, anywas here is the script

Code: [Select]

_yada = random 3


?(_yada == 1) : goto "talk1"

?(_yada == 2) : goto "talk2"

?(_yada == 3) : goto "talk3"


#talk1

titlecut ["Soldier - Man its cold!","PLAIN DOWN",1]
?(talk == 0) : exit

~4

titlecut ["Soldier - Stop whineing!","PLAIN DOWN",1]

?(talk == 0) : exit
~4

exit


#talk2

titlecut ["Soldier - I wonder when this will all be over....","PLAIN DOWN",1]

?(talk == 0) : exit
~4

titlecut ["Soldier - When the russian dogs are gone!","PLAIN DOWN",1]

?(talk == 0) : exit
~4

exit


#talk3

titlecut ["Soldier - I am hungrey","PLAIN DOWN",1]

?(talk == 0) : goto "fix"
~4

titlecut ["Soldier - Dont you ever think about something else then food?","PLAIN DOWN",1]

?(talk == 0) : goto "fix"

~4

exit


#fix

Random doesn't return an exact integer number (well, very rarely).

You need to use mod to strip away the decimal portion to arrive at a whole integer.

Instead of:

Code: [Select]

_yada = random 3

?(_yada == 1) : goto "talk1"

?(_yada == 2) : goto "talk2"

?(_yada == 3) : goto "talk3"
Try:

Code: [Select]

#top
_rnum = random 4 ; _yada = _rnum - (_rnum mod 1)

?(_yada == 1) : goto "talk1"

?(_yada == 2) : goto "talk2"

?(_yada == 3) : goto "talk3"

?(_yada == 4) : goto "top"

Something like that anyway
