foreach (y_iterate) - select random player from the same team. - Arthurillo - 09.09.2016

Hi, I'm starting to use foreach. But I do not understand how to select a player so random, that is on the same team (GetPlayerTeam).

Is there an example?

something like that?:

Code:

    if(strcmp(cmd, "/mission", true) == 0)
	{
        for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; ++i) {
            if(IsPlayerConnected(i)) {
                new RRandom = random(i);
            }
        } 
        new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
        GetPlayerName(RRandom, name, sizeof(name));
        format(coordsstring, sizeof(coordsstring), "Player name is %s %i", name, RRandom);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_WHITE,coordsstring);
        return 0x01;
    }

Code:

new playerteam = GetPlayerTeam(playerid),
      teamarray[MAX_PLAYERS],
      index;
foreach(Player, targetid)
{ 
    if(GetPlayerTeam(targetid) == playerteam)
    {
         teamarray[index] = targetid;
         index++;
    }
}

new randomtarget = teamarray[random(index)]; // this variable now stores the random player.

Should do the work.

TORKQ: That's really old foreach syntax, you'll get deprecated warning. So:

pawn Code:

foreach(new targetid:Player)

Besides that, it's good.

OP: You can go a step further, using y_groups it'd be as easy as

pawn Code:

Iter_Random(GroupPlayers[GroupOfPlayersOnYourTeam]);

It doesn't matter if it's old or not, it still usable and works fine in newest Y_ISI libraries (AFAIK)
