Set an integer to a random integer?

Wratox1 · May 12, 2009

Hi, i need some help with integers;

I want to set an integer to the value of a random selected integer multiplied by the value of another random selected integer...

Is there anyway to do this?(im not good at jass, so id rather have it in GUI)And this even possible? i cant manage to figure it out:banghead:

Code:

Set <Integer variable> = ((Random integer number between Y and X) / (Random integer number between Y and X))

You mean like this ?

Trigger:

Random Integer
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set Integer[1] = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
  - Set Integer[2] = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
  - Set Integer[2] = (Integer[1] * Integer[2])

Trigger:

Set SomeInt = ((Random integer number between A and B) x (Random integer number between C and D))

okay, maybe i wasnt really clear, i want to set a integervariable to a random integervariable multiplied by another random integervariable, or im just stupid and didnt see the answer among your posts...

Komaqtion · May 12, 2009

Yeah, that's what i did in my post

Romek · May 12, 2009

> Yeah, that's what i did in my post
Well, you just changed it from a division to a multiplication.
And your solution is still quite silly.

Amfie made a little mistake with the operation in #2 - My post is exactly his, with a different operation.

> or im just stupid and didnt see the answer among your posts...

Komaqtion · May 12, 2009

Yeah i know, sorry, but it's still the same concept

Tyrulan · May 12, 2009

Looks like you've got this one answered. He should be able to figure it out from here.

On a side note: Romek is using "Arithmetic" for his trigger.

No, I think he means something different.
@OP: Is your need to multiply a randomly selected already set integer variable among many integer variables with another of those?
And may I ask why in that case? The only way I could think of that is (quite) dynamic would be to have all the different integers that you choose between not to be different variables but arrays in a single variable and select Variable[random number between 1 and X].

        Else - Actions

thats one of them, i have 4 just like this one, but a little longer... so i'll only show the shortest because one has random integer number between 1 and 30, its quite long...

then i have this one:

Trigger:

FirstClue
- Events
  - Map initialization
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set FirstClue = (FirstClue1 x FirstClue2)
  - Wait 5.00 seconds
  - Game - Display to (All players) the text: Hi and welcome, tod...
  - Wait 6.00 seconds
  - Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Picked player) emitting Visibility across FirstClue <gen>
  - Set Visibility = (Last created visibility modifier)
  - Game - Display to (All players) the text: Lets start with som...
  - Countdown Timer - Start Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 600.00 seconds
  - Wait 1.50 seconds
  - Floating Text - Create floating text that reads Multiply the number... at (Center of FirstClue <gen>) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
  - Set Floatingtext = (Last created floating text)
  - Wait 10.00 seconds
  - Game - Display to (All players) the text: And when you think ...

and its in this trigger i want to change one thing;

Trigger:

Set FirstClue = (FirstClue1 x FirstClue2)

to something like: set FirstClue = (random integervariable x random integervariable)
which means that i want the trigger to set FirstClue to a random picked integervariable of the ones which exists and multipy the value of the picked integer with another random picked variable...

Am i getting my message clear?

Komaqtion · May 12, 2009

Then you'll probably have to use arrays, and then you can use Random Number between x and y, meaning the lowest array value and the highest.

Wratox1 · May 12, 2009

is there any other options? just curious..

Tyrulan · May 12, 2009

What's wrong with this?:

Trigger:

Set FirstClue = ((Random integer number between 1 and 10) x (Random integer number between 1 and 10))

Or this...

Trigger:

Untitled Trigger 001
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set FirstClue = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - FirstClue == 1
    - Then - Actions
      - Set temp_Number = Random Integer Variable 1
    - Else - Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - FirstClue == 2
    - Then - Actions
      - Set temp_Number = Random Integer Variable 2
    - Else - Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - FirstClue == 3
    - Then - Actions
      - Set temp_Number = Random Integer Variable 3
    - Else - Actions

Arrays are much easier ... lol

Egads! Use a for loop!

Code:

for i = 1 to FirstClue5
    pick random point
    create 1 unit at random point

i don't think that you know what i want... take a look at post #10 and there is what i want...

as for the arrays, i was just curious about if there where any other way than arrays, even if i'm going to use arrays...

how do you mean? do you mean a for each integer loop?

Tyrulan · May 12, 2009

Done trying to solve this problem for you. You're going to have to find a better way of explaining it to me without throwing triggers at me.

Wratox1 · May 12, 2009

well, the problem is solved, but i just wondered if there where any other methods to solve the problem, both easier and harder, just wanted to know what options i had... But anyway im gonna use arrays...

Yes, more commonly known as "for loop". It'll reduce that monster IF-ELSE-ELSE-ELSE-ELSE block down to 5 lines.

k, thx for the help

Set an integer to a random integer?
