Hey there

I've making a new vehicle system that I have to implement to my mission system too.
What method do you recommend to select random vehicles for missions?

For example:

I use bitflags and there are some vehicles with flag TRAILERS.
How I can select random id from theese vehicles?

Thanks in advance

dunno thing about bitflags, so is there a function in that bitflag which checks a vehicle if it's a trailer or not? for one vehicle.

Yes. if(GetVehicleFlag(vehicleid, VEHICLE_FLAG_TRAILER)) { ... }

new const Float:RandomCars[][] = 
{
// Random ids here
    {456}, // 0
    {478}, // 1
    {567}, // 2
}

Uhm, what's the second array dimension for? These are not strings, ...

new const RandomCars[] = {

I was just typing fast like how he can do "random" but anyway thanks for that

Don't forget that vehicle ids aren't floats either, so no need to specify it as a float value.

Regardless, you could add them to an iterator when creating them and use Iter_Random. The other code is either totally hard coded to IDs, which is a bad idea, or merely selects a model, not an instance.

Model id will doesn't matter becouse I'll set other type of flags for the missions (Vehicles that the player have to tow, stole, etc)

It will be easier if I can add theese vehicles to an iterator but the problem is what I said before. I've only can add theese "Mission vehicles" to an iterator like MissionVehicles where it will be faster to loop throught. But I won't able to select a random id with conditions.

So there’s no any method. Maybe this will be fine. Thanks for your help
