Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this code.
var place = 0;
//Function for creating pickups
function pickups_places()
{
place = int(random(6));
if (place == 1)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-192,-192,0),NULL);}
if (place == 2)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-160,-192,0),NULL);}
if (place == 3)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-128,-192,0),NULL);}
if (place == 4)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-96,-192,0),NULL);}
if (place == 5)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-64,-192,0),NULL);}
}
pickups_places(); //this is in the main function

Thanks. I would never have found that out. I was using the manual and I never came across this. Thanks again. editSorry to be a bother. I am not gettin any results from the code. When I just do
ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-192,-192,0),NULL);
I get results. The 'pass' model appears, but when I use the code above, the model doesn't appear. Is everything ok with my code or have I done something wrong?

sometimes comparing a var with a real numberm as you are doing doesnt work. Its buried deep in the manual somewhere, from memory, it goes something like ...sometimes a var will not contain the expected integer, but contain a near value, where one is expecting a 1.000, you will in fact get a 1.000001 which causes the if to fail... or something to that effect. try this instead. (untested)
//Function for creating pickups
function pickups_places()
{
place = random(6);
if (integer(place) == 1)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-192,-192,0),NULL);}
if (integer(place) == 2)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-160,-192,0),NULL);}
if (integer(place) == 3)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-128,-192,0),NULL);}
if (integer(place) == 4)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-96,-192,0),NULL);}
if (integer(place) == 5)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-64,-192,0),NULL);}

maybe try it like this
if((place >= 0)&&(place < 2))
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-192,-192,0),NULL);}
if((place >= 2)&&(place < 3))
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-160,-192,0),NULL);}
if((place >= 3)&&(place < 4))
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-128,-192,0),NULL);}
if((place >= 4)&&(place < 5))
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-96,-192,0),NULL);}
if(place >= 5)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-64,-192,0),NULL);}

I also tried that and it didn't work either. However, I made a little progress. I debugged the variable place, and realized that it never moved from zero, so I tried using a while loop and the model appeared but in all 5 places. I then tried this:
var place;
var trigger_num = 0;
var trigger_mod;
if (trigger_num == 0)
{
trigger_mod = ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(0,0,0),pickups_places);
trigger_num = 1;
}
//Function for creating pickups
function pickups_places()
{
while (place == 0)
{
place = integer(random(6));
if (place == 1)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-192,192,0),NULL);}
if (place == 2)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-160,192,0),NULL);}
if (place == 3)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-128,192,0),NULL);}
if (place == 4)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-96,192,0),NULL);}
if (place == 5)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-64,192,0),NULL);}
wait(1);
}
}
This time only one model appears, but it always appear in the same position. The variable 'place' is always 3. Any ideas on this?

I don't get it. I removed the interger and used:
//Function for creating pickups
function pickups_places()
{
while (place == 0)
{
place = random(6);
wait(1);
}
if (place > 0 && place < 2)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-192,192,0),NULL);}
else if (place >= 2 && place < 3)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-160,192,0),NULL);}
else if (place >= 3 && place < 4)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-128,192,0),NULL);}
else if (place >= 4 && place < 5)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-96,192,0),NULL);}
else if (place >= 5 && place < 6)
{ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-64,192,0),NULL);}
}
and now variable place is 0.995 all the time. Could someone who knows whats going on here please help me with this. It's sending me crazy. Thanks for your help guys.

Try this one, and let us know IF it fixes the problem, if it does then I'll explain it. Im not good with c-script so it may need adjusting to be c-script friendly.
//Function for creating pickups
function pickups_places()
{
random_seed(0);
var place = integer(random(5)+1);
if(place==1) {ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-192,192,0),NULL);}
if(place==2) {ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-160,192,0),NULL);}
if(place==3) {ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-128,192,0),NULL);}
if(place==4) {ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-96,192,0),NULL);}
if(place==5) {ent_create("pass.mdl",vector(-64,192,0),NULL);}
}
