hello, how can i make a question that shows randomly in every level? at every level there should be 5 questions but only one will be shown. i want it to become ramdom so that every time the player enters the level, there will be different question to be answered. and the answer to the question must be correct. how can i make the answer correct if the question is shown randomly? by the way, the answer to the question can be found at the maze/game and it is a 3d model. and the question to be shown could be .BMP or .tga or .pcx file types. pls help me. thanks!

Make a 2D-array, fill it with the correct and with the entity- or bitmap-pointer:
var question[5][3]; //2D-Array, for 5 questions
...
function question_fill()
{
...
//fill the array for the first question
question[0][0] = 1; //the right answer is 1
question[0][1] = bmap_create("question.bmp"); //question-bitmap
question[0][2] = ent_create("answer_entity.mdl",nullevctor,NULL); // answer-entity
...
}
...
function question_ask()
{
var random_number = integer(random(4.9)); //make it random
...
if(my_answer == question[random_number][3])
{
((ENTITY*)question[0][2]).alpha = 100;
}
...
}
This example isn't complete, just to show you how you could do that. ^^ There are more ways, I guess, but I would do it that way. Hope it helps... ~greets

Hope it helps... ~greets unsure why you're storing trying to store entities and bmaps in variables? just create what you need as a struct then if you're not happy creating them dynamically or in an array then create them like so:
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
typedef struct RND_Q {
BMAP* bmap;
char* model;
int answer;
} RND_Q;
RND_Q* rnd_q; //pointer for array of structs
int int_rndQuestionCount; //stores the number of random questions
int int_rndQuestionSelected;
//panel for displaying the question
PANEL* pnl_question = {
flags = SHOW;
}
//function for adding question to the pool
void question_add(char* bmp, char* model, int answer){
int i = int_rndQuestionCount;
int_rndQuestionCount++;
rnd_q = realloc(rnd_q, sizeof(RND_Q) * (int_rndQuestionCount));
rnd_q[i].bmap = bmap_create(bmp);
rnd_q[i].model = model;
rnd_q[i].answer = answer;
}
void main(){
wait(1);
question_add("q01.bmp", "q01.mdl", 1);
question_add("q02.bmp", "q02.mdl", 4);
question_add("q03.bmp", "q03.mdl", 2);
question_add("q04.bmp", "q04.mdl", 1);
random_seed(0);
int_rndQuestionSelected = random(integer(int_rndQuestionCount)); //randomly generates a question
//rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].bmap; //stores the question image
//rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].model; //stores the mode name
//rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].answer; //stores the correct answer
//so to display the question in pnl_question use
pnl_question.bmap = rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].bmap;
}

pls answer me here... 
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
typedef struct RND_Q {
BMAP* questions;
char* model;
// int answer;
} RND_Q;
RND_Q* rnd_q; //pointer for array of structs
int int_rndQuestionCount; //stores the number of random questions
int int_rndQuestionSelected;
//panel for displaying the question
PANEL* pnl_question = {
flags = SHOW;
}
//function for adding question to the pool
void question_add(char* questions, char* model)
{
int i = int_rndQuestionCount;
int_rndQuestionCount++;
rnd_q = realloc(rnd_q, sizeof(RND_Q) * (int_rndQuestionCount));
rnd_q[i].questions = bmap_create(questions);
rnd_q[i].model = model;
// rnd_q[i].answer = answer;
}
void main(){
wait(1);
question_add("tanong1.tga", "paccherry.mdl");
question_add("tanong2.tga", "bilog.mdl");
question_add("tanong3.tga", "heart.mdl");
question_add("tanong4.tga", "strip.mdl");
random_seed(0);
int_rndQuestionSelected = random(integer(int_rndQuestionCount)); //randomly generates a question
//rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].bmap; //stores the question image
//rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].model; //stores the mode name
//rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].answer; //stores the correct answer
//so to display the question in pnl_question use
pnl_question.questions = rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].questions;
}
is this correct??because when i run the script there's an error saying "questions is not a member of PANEL" in "pnl_question.questions = rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].questions;"

pnl_question.bmap = rnd_q[int_rndQuestionSelected].questions;
will display the question make sure the images for the questions exist and they're in the same folder as your .c file.
