Random Player from a team - xTURBOx - 18.01.2017

PHP код:
GetRandTeamPlayer(playerid)
{
    new targetid = INVALID_PLAYER_ID;
    for(new i=0;i<MAX_PLAYERS;i++)
    {
        if(i == playerid) continue;
        if(team[i] == TEAM1)
        {
            targetid = i;
            break;
        }
    }
    return targetid;
} 
It sometimes return invalid player id, i want it to return a random player from TEAM1

There's nothing random about it. It just picks the first player in that team all the time. I will suggest using foreach and custom iterators; one for each team. Then you can use Iter_Rand(). Otherwise you can get by with a do-while loop but you must be cautious to not let it run infinitely.

PHP код:
GetRandomPlayerInTeam(teamdef)
{
    new
        randomPlayer = INVALID_PLAYER_ID,
        maxId = GetPlayerPoolSize(),
        loopGuard = 1000;
        
    do
    {
        randomPlayer = random(maxId);
    }
    while(team[randomPlayer] != teamdef && --loopGuard > 0);
    
    return (loopGuard <= 0) ? INVALID_PLAYER_ID : randomPlayer;
} 
Again, foreach is probably the better option.
