Random(X) to pick randomly for specific numbers - CalvinC - 27.01.2015

You can use a switch like this to get a random number:

pawn Код:

switch(random(3))
{
    case 1: // Codes
    case 2: // Codes
    case 3: // Codes
}

I know that, but how could you create a feature.
If i only want 1 and 3, i could probably do this:

pawn Код:

switch(random(3))
{
    case 1: // Codes
    case 2:
    {
        switch(random(2))
        {
            case 1: // Codes from previous case 1
            case 2: // Codes from previous case 3
        }
    }
    case 3: // Codes
}

But that would become very messy if you have alot of specific numbers like me.

Why are you complicating if I may ask? For what do you need this "feature"?

random starts from 0 if you want 1,2 use random(2)+1

pawn Код:

switch(random(2)+1)
{
    case 1: // code
    default: or case 2: // code
}

I just thought about what you said actually, and it turns out that i was quite stupid... So yeah i fixed it, don't even need this at all.

EDIT: Thanks Jefff, i just made it quickly so i didn't realise, but it was just an example anyways.

Or create an array with numbers

Код:

new theArray[] = {1, 3}, theRandom = random(sizeof theArray);

switch(theArray[theRandom])
{
	case 1: ...
	case 3: ...
}
