Hi.
How can i make snd_play(...) to choose randomly from 4 possible sounds and play one of them?
I tried with snd_play(random(snd1,snd2,snd3),100,0); but it doesn't work. Help pls

your question is a combination of
1-How do I pick a random IDnumber
2-How do I play a sound given an ID number.

I think you already know how to solve both.

1- id=int(random(5));
2- if(id==3) play my sound;

No, I didn't want that.
For example I have snd1, snd2 and snd3 which are defined sounds (SOUND*snd1=....). I want when I call snd_play(...) the computer randomly choose which from these 3 sounds to play, no matter which one

trust me, it is what you want.
You just had on the wish using the API sound-play call for
a direct use with a list of random to pick sounds.
You could rewrite the API to accept a list as parameter..

What I explained is dooing the exact same, and thus is the same.

SOUND* metal_ric_snd = "ric1.wav";
SOUND* metal_ric1_snd = "ric2.wav";
SOUND* metal_ric2_snd = "ric3.wav";
SOUND* metal_ric3_snd = "ric4.wav";

function playmetalhit_snd()
{
var choice;
choice=integer(random(5));
switch (choice)
{
case 0:
ent_playsound(my,metal_ric1_snd,0);
break;
case 1:
ent_playsound(my,metal_ric2_snd,0);
break;
case 2:
ent_playsound(my,metal_ric3_snd,0);
break;
case 3:
ent_playsound(my,metal_ric4_snd,0);
break;

}
}

i just copied that out of my project, uneditted, i think thats what you want

Thx, that works

It is the same as Damocles said....

i know but sometimes code helps, not everyone can take theories and make them practical
