How do I get a working random/shuffled card system?

thanks again for a quick reply..

Just gonna try both the method you just said..

Still have a query though,,, do we need an array?

Yes, you need to pull the values out one by one into your own array.

This is what I've done but the value gets repeated

It's hard to tell what's going on in a screen shot. Can you post what you have so far?

rah: You can also check the How do I FAQ and see there are some examples on the subject :

With Smart Random and a decoding function to convert the numbers 1 to 52 to your CiS format.

Hey blackhornet

Thank you for providing the method

but is it possible to sort the cards after applying the BHT

Also great job with the Plugin

Sort them how?

in a descending order to compare the values for poker hands like one pair, two pair etc

There's various algorithms for poker. Sorry, I can't help beyond decoding the cards, as in the given function. Either Goggle "poker algorithm code" or maybe someone else has done this already.
