Random integer number

[nLike]

I have a variable that i'm using for something. Every few seconds I give it a random value between 1-4 but I need it to be different from what it was before.

I've been trying to find a solution but I can't seem to find anything smart. Is it possible to exclude a number in a random group from to?

You can do a While/WhileEnd loop with this:

For each C from 1 to 2
| set Random_Number = Random number between 1 and 4
| If Random_Number = Last_Random_Number
| | Then
| | set C = (C - 1)
| | Else
| | set C = 2
| set Last Random_Number = Random_Number
Do my thing with my Random_Number blablabla..

Here you are
Variables : C (Integer), Random_Number (Integer), Last_Random_Number (Integer)

thats a strange solution. i mean, just in case you got really bad luck, the trigger will fail at getting the random number xD
why cant you just use Random number between 1 and 3 and add 1 if the number equals / is bigger then the last random number?

It's a solution, but the trigger can't fail, he'll find a number everytime.

Actually, if he finds a number which is the last number, he'll search another number, if it's the same again, he'll search again another number untill he finally find a new number.

Well how about this:

• Trigger
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (int_A Equal to 1) or (int_A Equal to 2)
      • Then - Actions
        • Set int_B[2] = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • int_B[1] Equal to int_B[2]
          • Then - Actions
            • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
          • Else - Actions
            • Set int_A = (int_A + 1)
            • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions

This will work if you set int_A to one and then run the trigger from another trigger. I've used triggers very similar to this one and they've done the job very well. Hope this helps.
