Usage of the RANDOM variable

[Proximus]

I would like to know if is possible to do the following:

 

EXAMPLE: round(random 8) * 10

 

The random is between 0 and 8.

 

We use this to put random coins on AI.

But when a player checks and AI's wallet and it returns 0 coins (so random = 0), the players money is not being saved anymore and he/she needs to relog to get the correct amount again.

 

So i would like the Random to always return at least 1.

 

Hope it's clear and i hope you guys can help me :)

Do it like this 

_random = ceil(random 7) + 1;

Always add +1 and you will never got 0.

Maybe easier than to check and then react ;) And do a random 7 if you add 1.

Thanks guys

 

So it would look like this to put between 1 and 200 coins on the AI

 

_cash = ceil(random 20) +1 * 10; // number between 0 and 200

_unit setVariable["cashMoney",_cash,true];

 

Or do i have to use double ( )

[jahangir13]

no

ceil((random 199) +1)

 

How can you get 0-10 in your command ,)

Using this from Zupa:

 

 

 

change

        _unit enableAI "TARGET";
        _unit enableAI "AUTOTARGET";
        _unit enableAI "MOVE";
        _unit enableAI "ANIM";
        _unit enableAI "FSM";
        _unit setCombatMode ai_combatmode;
        _unit setBehaviour ai_behaviour;
        removeAllWeapons _unit;
        removeAllItems _unit;
        _unit addweapon _weapon;

to 

        _unit enableAI "TARGET";
        _unit enableAI "AUTOTARGET";
        _unit enableAI "MOVE";
        _unit enableAI "ANIM";
        _unit enableAI "FSM";
        _unit setCombatMode ai_combatmode;
        _unit setBehaviour ai_behaviour;
        removeAllWeapons _unit;
        removeAllItems _unit;
        _unit addweapon _weapon;

// Soul Hive
        _unit setVariable["CashMoney",5000,true];
// 999 Hive
_unit setVariable["headShots",5000,true];

Or how much cash u want, i put 5000 now, change that number to your likings

 

 

If u want like random generated cash try this:

 

Between 0 to 20000 ( always +1000)

        _unit enableAI "TARGET";
        _unit enableAI "AUTOTARGET";
        _unit enableAI "MOVE";
        _unit enableAI "ANIM";
        _unit enableAI "FSM";
        _unit setCombatMode ai_combatmode;
        _unit setBehaviour ai_behaviour;
        removeAllWeapons _unit;
        removeAllItems _unit;
        _unit addweapon _weapon;


_cash = round(random 20) * 1000; // number between 0 and 20 000

// Soul Hive
        _unit setVariable["CashMoney",_cash ,true];
// 999 Hive
_unit setVariable["headShots",_cash ,true];

Yes, as I said. If it does not matter that you don't get all the numbers between 0 and 200, take what you have.

If it matters, don't take it ,)

I guess Zupa wanted 1000,2000,3000 and so on only. He cannot get other values. Random x gets you a number between 0 and x. If you multiply that with something else (e.g. 2 as the lowest next meaningful number) you already only get half of the numbers between 0 and x.

Adjusted it your way, going to test it now :D

Works. Thanks! :D
