The 2 functions i use:

PHP Code:

new Indexes[MAX_MESSAGES];
stock FreeIndexes()
{
    for(new i =0; i< MAX_MESSAGES; i++)
    {
        Indexes[i] = 0;
    }
}
stock getIndex()
{
    new Index = random(MAX_MESSAGES-1), j;
    for(new i =0; i< MAX_MESSAGES; i++)
    {
        if(Indexes[i] != Index)
        {
            if(Indexes[i] == 0)
            {
                Indexes[i] = Index;
                break;
            }
             j = Index;
        }
    }
    return j;
} 


FreeIndses() is called on starting of the command.


I cant use the normal for loop for the only reason that i want to access random elements within the array, not crescent or decreasing, thus i made the function getIndex which checks if the index hasnt been used already, if not return it & store it into the indexes array... until its full...

I couldnt think of another way... i know i am using alot of loops... but is there any other way?
Response is kinda 4-5 seconds.
