Usage of Random - Dubya - 08.07.2012

Hello. I was wondering what the Usage of "Random" is, because I want it to send random message's to the players, as like a tool-tip?

Random just randomizes between 0 and whatever number you input minus one (read post below).

The example on that wiki shows you how you could do random messages. If you don't understand how to make random messages from that wiki, read this one:

Wrong. If you put 1 it will only ever return 0, ONE value. If you put TWO it has the possibility to return TWO values - 0/1.

I know, I was simplifying it. I'll edit the post.

You need to learn to do arrays if you want random messages.

pawn Код:

new
    szRandMessages[][] = {
    {"Message one"},    // 0
    {"Message two"},    // 1
    {"Message three"},  // 2
    {"Message four"},   // 3
    {"Message five"},   // 4
    {"Message six"}};   // 5

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    SetTimer("RandomMessages", 30000, 1);
    return 1;
}

forward RandomMessages();
public RandomMessages()
{
    SendClientMessageToAll(-1, szRandMessages[random(sizeof(szRandMessages))]);
    print("30 secs");
    return 1;
}
