Random Weapon Switch

Hey again guys.

I've got a small detail I'm trying to work out.

When my player has shot an enemy I add one to a global variable, when that global variable = 5 the players weapon changes. Currently set up as

Global Variable = 5 -> Set Global Variable 'gun' to (x)

And of course when global variable gun1 = shotgun, 2= rifle etc.

I can get it to work perfectly if I choose a single number/weapon, but I have a number of random weapons I want it to randomly choose.

I've tried :

Global Variable = 5 -> Set Global Variable 'gun' to floor(random(3))

But am having issues. Sometimes two guns spawns, sometimes it works, sometimes the gun disappears. I'm wondering if there's a simpler way to do this or maybe I am using the wrong expressions to select a global variable.

Not sure if this is your problem. But when you use Random(3) it will select a random number from 0 to 2 and not from 1 to 3.

If your range of weapons are from 1 to 3, you can try using this:

int(Random(1,3)) or int(Random(3)+1)

Both will select a random number from 1 to 3 as a non float value and round to nearest integer.

That worked perfectly, thankyou! Haven't steered me wrong on these forums yet, extremely helpful. Makes the process so much more enjoyable.
