How do I randomly chose an instance variable?

Basically what the title says. I am trying to make a boss for my game .He would have 3 variables and they would be set to false. Every X seconds he would chose one at random and make it true. When a variable is set to true he would preform an attack and then set it to false again. Each variable would represent a different attack of course.

So have can I do it? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't work like this.

Instead do:

choose(1,2,3)

if 1: set var 1 = true

else if 2: set var 2 = true

else if 3: set var 3 = true

and since thats not really practical, it makes more sense to program it another way, maybe like this:

every x seconds: attacktype = choose(1,2,3)

if attacktype (not equal) 0:

• if attacktype 1: do attack 1
• else if attacktype 2: do attack 2
• else if attacktype 3: do attack 3
• : set attacktype = 0

(ofc you can also use strings instead of 1, 2, 3, ...)

Which action do I use for "choose"

Or instead of setting booleans, couldn't you set a numerical value to your variable?

Like :

Boss -> set attackType to int(random(1,3))

if attackType == 1 do…

elseif attackType == 2 do…

elseif attackType == 3 do…

I don't know if it could help you, but you can take a look to the switch plugin :

Thanks for the help guys, I did it, it needs some polishing but it works like this:

Every X seconds- Boss/ add choose (1,2,3,4) to Attack

Attack=1-Set animation 1,set Attack to 0

Attack=2-Set animation 2,set Attack to 0

Attack=3-Set animation 3,set Attack to 0

Attack=4-Set animation 4,set Attack to 0

Oh, I misread mindfaQ message, I was writing some or less the same thing.
