Randomized Pickups that give weapons. - rangerxxll - 01.03.2014

Hello. So I'm trying to create pickups that randomly spawn on a custom island. Once they spawn, a player will receive a random weapon (must be specified. So they don't get miniguns, etc.) I'd like to learn how to properly place random pickups in a array and randomly generate them each round of the match, and they will give the player a random weapon.

I can easily get the coordinates, but the issue is to randomize them every match. I also need to know how to make the pickups give weapons.

pawn Код:

new Float:rSpawns[][] =
{
    {3878.7217,466.0317,7.4426},
    {3726.5127,263.8537,7.4798},
    {3695.7917,421.2384,7.4630},
    {3640.9050,344.2969,7.4534},
    {3967.2261,423.8549,28.4928},
    {3928.4590,301.3971,38.8480}
};

What would this code be? Instead of coordinates, would it be "CreatePickup"?

If you need more information, let me know. Thanks for any assistance.

Hold on let me get this straight... You want only one of them to be used each round, or do you want to create random one and a timer to randomly destroy it and create a new one in another random spot... Because only one spot to be used in each round wouldn't be very smart, I THINK what i said would be better because players could find that ONE spot and camp there if you don't choose my way (learned this from experience in my server :P)...

I'd probably like your way, if possible lol. That's the point of randomizing them. And I'd like at least 6 pickups to be in a game.

Ok, ill make the code unless someone else does, just gotta get my room straight and hook up my computer (Im on my phone:P)... I just moved to my new house

Much appreciated. I'll be awaiting a response and hopefully we can get this system implemented.

Still awaiting assistance. If you have a alternative to this, then please let me know. Just to clarify - I am looking to create randomized pickups that give weapons during a round.

new Float:rSpawns[][] =
{
    {3878.7217,466.0317,7.4426}, // array ID 0
    {3726.5127,263.8537,7.4798}, // array ID 1
    {3695.7917,421.2384,7.4630}, // array ID 2
    {3640.9050,344.2969,7.4534}, // array ID 3
    {3967.2261,423.8549,28.4928}, // array ID 4
    {3928.4590,301.3971,38.8480} // array ID 5
};

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    for(new i = 0, iRandom; i < 6; i++) make a loop that auto-adds +1 to i each time a new pickup is made; limit the amount of pickups to 6 via i < 6; change 6 to increase the amount of pickups
    {
        iRandom = random(sizeof(rSpawns)); // pick a random data set ID from rSpawns
        CreatePickup(-1, -1, rSpawns[iRandom][0], rSpawns[iRandom][1], rSpawns[iRandom][2], -1);
    }
    return 1;
}

rSpawns is the name of the array. The [iRandom] is a random ID of the set of data in the array. Each {} encloses a new set of data. Each , inside of a set of data is like a different ID.
So, doing rSpawns[0] will give you this set of data: 3878.7217,466.0317,7.4426
Then, doing rSpawns[0][0] will give you this piece of the set: 3878.7217
Just like doing rSpawns[0][2] will give you this piece: 7.4426

He doesnt want all of them created at the same time... and they need destroyed after being picked up... and as its destroyed a new random one needs to be created... Its the same system used in my old GM Hunger Games... Just dont have access to it yet, or i would've given it to him already

Re: Randomized Pickups that give weapons. - rangerxxll - 04.03.2014

I'm just using the good old (if pickupid == whatever.) It seems to be working. May not be the most space efficient, or just efficient in general but it works. I couldn't get it to work with an array.
