Code: var random_item = 0; random_item = integer(random(5)); // 5 possibilities switch(random_item) { case 0 : GivePlayerAmmo(); break; case 1 : GivePlayerArmor(); break; case 2 : GivePlayerHealth(); break; case 3 : GivePlayerWeapon(); break; case 4 : GivePlayerLife(); break; } So you would test the random value returned and for a certain value, perform a certain task.

Code: function random_one() { var random_item = 0; random_item = integer(random(5)+1); // 5 possibilities switch(random_item) { case 1 : GivePlayerAmmo(); break; case 2 : GivePlayerArmor(); break; case 3 : GivePlayerHealth(); break; case 4 : GivePlayerWeapon(); break; case 5 : GivePlayerLife(); break; } } Don´t forget to set "random_seed(0)" or "randomize()" in older versions before the level_load instruction. This will bring you absolute random values otherwise they would always be the same. greets Last edited by Rasch; 09/09/09 06:46.
