Randon Function

Guys,

I have a doubt... I�d like to make my random interval between 1 and 7, and where I find the function syntax in C2 about it ?

The commom is random(x), in some examples...

Thx for any help

Hi amarcelo,

Yes it is Random(7) or you could do Random(1,7)

also when you are typing in the function "Random(" the function syntax will show up for you.

Thx again !!!!

I'm working on this. I only wanted whole numbers, so I used int(random(7)). Trying to figure out how to create a random calculation symbol appear now though :( random(*,/,-,+) doesn't seem to work.

AnD4D - try splitting a comma-separated string with a random index, like this:

tokenat("+,-,*,/", int(random(4)), ",")

I can't seem to crack it! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50465867/TextAdventure.capx

I tried to use the code using the variable in an array, but it didn't work unless I used a global variable. I have the program set to have the "sum" text display the maths symbol. Am I going about this the completely wrong way?

your sum variable should be a text not a number

That's got it working... but now I just need to figure out how to work the expression. I have Var1&gsum&Var2... so that var1 and 2 are altered by whatever gsum is. Doesn't seem to like that, so I tried commas, which causes an error, and finally the + symbol, which works but gives the wrong results.

Any ideas?

Succeeded using 4 events. Sure there's a way to do it using just one.

You probabaly will have to separate calculation from character display.

For instance

local variable operation
on whatever you want to do -> set operation to random(4)
---- operation = 0  -> do an addition
---- operation = 1  -> do a substraction
---- operation = 2  -> do a multiply
---- operation = 3  -> do a divide
---- always -> set text to tokenat("+,-,*,/",operation,",")
