Eliminate last frame used

Hi I have a problem at a card game.At dealing i made set animation frame at Random(0,Card.AnimationFrameCount),but the frames are repeating idk why.

Its like I draw the 1st 5 cards and some are copies like 2Q or 2Ace that are exactly the same heart or leaf ..... and I don't wanna have that in my hand coz the deck has no copies idk how to eliminate frame after the card with that frame its drawn pls help or tell me a way to draw cards without duplicates.

Happy New Year 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

i haven't worked with array in construct yet, but how about pushing the drawn cards frame number into an array and in your condition Random(0,Card.AnimationFrameCount) add a second condition for "not - array contains value"

happy new year

Seems that my game its messed up .I'm newbie I tried to make the deck and so with array but idk how to place a frame into an array and so.Seems like array can help me as it has a pop option to eliminate one element .I think i can use that like random placing frames or sprites in the array the draw the from card from array with pop fron after that.

I need some help with the array, if some1 can explain how to make that I would be really GRATEFUL.

You may want to use choose system expression instead.

choose(1,2,4,5) picks a random number from the list, excluding the 3. You just need to fill the parameters by listing animation frames excluding the current one.

still waiting for tips! Expression choose(1,2,4) excluding current frame doesn't work it still duplicates 1,2 or 4 .I'm trying to do something to exclude frame 1,2,4 after its chosen, drawn.It choose one of those numbers,but it can choose the same number many times I want the same number to be chosen only once so it can't duplicate.

Anyway Thx for tips Mipey and 5Type.

Ah, right, you want a set of unique numbers. Here is a tutorial for that:

Generating Random Numbers Without Duplicates

Not very elegant solution in my taste, but it should do you well. What I normally use is a Fischer-Yates shuffle method (google it), as demonstrated here:

I just iterate through the function results and draw the frames in supplied order.

THX A LOT MIPEY !!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <img src="smileys/smiley42.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
