on object destroyed system set varto rand(1,3) doesnt work?

Hey guys,

the following script leaves the variable completly empty:

[attachment=0:15mldtjj][/attachment:15mldtjj]

am i doing something wrong?

regards

joschi

to answer my own question, round(random(1,3)) does the trick

Good for you That's the way to do it

To further your answer.

The variable was probably not empty when not rounding it but something big like, for example, "1.13548341583454132138534436415438" (a random float number).

If your text object is not wide enough, it won't display the text and appear as "empty", when it actually isn't.

Rounding the number makes sure it's either 1, 2 or 3 and so will be displayed.

Problem with the rounding in my opinion is that the chance of it being 2 is now 2 times as big as it being 1 or three

1 -> 1.49 = 1

1.5 -> 2.49 = 2

2.5 -> 3 = 3

When there are only three random numbers I'd rather use choose(1,2,3) , another way would be to use floor(1,3.99) or something similar..

int(random(1,4)) works.

Double or nothing?

int(random(1,4)) works.

(or) something similar

thank you very much, for pointing this out! i will modify my scritp!
